    Yeah gotta be a typo I know on Ebay sometimes sellers put a weird price and when you click on the ones sold it comes up a different cheaper price. But nobody has bought any yet to see what the real price will be.

    Contact the seller and ask............

    At worst they prove to be jerks.

    At best they correct the listing, sell some units and offer you a discount for helping them.

    Too many zeros maybe? :notsure:

    I could see them being in the $500 range with it being stainless though.

    This was their response

    We have temporarily raised the price of this item due to inventory issues. We will have the price back to normal when inventory is readily available again. However, if a consumer was to purchase this item for 5000.00 we would certainly find and ship them one.

    Thank you for your inquiry!

    Thanks for posting this.

    Yeah...I know...if you're dumb enough to pay five grand for steps that can be had for $150-$300...then you are a Phucking Idiot.

    Just the same - ebay seller -> trends-auto just went on my "avoid" list, regardless of their rating.


    UPDATE - not that I doubted the OP, but I made my own query and received the exact response.

    Exactly to make a comment like that is very unprofessional.

    This was there final return message because I asked a question on all 3 items.

    We have temporarily raised the price of this item due to inventory issues. We will have the price back to normal when inventory is redily available again. However, if a consumer was to purchase this item for 5000.00 we would certainly find and ship them one.

    Thank you for your inquiry!

    PS. why are you so concerned about the prices of products on a free market anyways?

    I sent them a msg for grins - told them they just went on about 50,000 SxxT lists.

    Yeah...its a free mkt. and if a DA is willing to part with $5K, so be it.

    Scum bags just the same.

    I told them I put them on here and for some reason haven't heard back from them. But when I asked about the 3 items they answered almost immediately.
