[time-nuts] Is $1500 for a Thunderbolt a bit too much?

[Jason Rabel]

Sometimes when I see insanely high purchases for items when there are near-identical listings it makes me suspicious that perhaps
the buyer was using a second account to make a "fake" purchase. Possibly to either add more positive ratings or maybe artificially
make people think an item is worth that (over)value?
