I see that on occasion as well. I figured either the pricing algorithm went berserk or the company really didn't have the product on hand at the moment so they priced themselves out of the market. The only other thing I've come up with is it might be a money laundering scheme. Probably easier to launder money through Amazon or Ebay than a restaurant or a bar. I've been told big money is laundered through commercial real estate nowadays but smaller amounts still go through small businesses.
