Hilariously overpriced used item listings around the internet

It is just broken in...
I just put on a new roof so I'm gonna pass on it.
Same here , been looking for a good used fishing boat in the 16-17 range . We have KSL Classifieds here in Utah , at any one time there is usually 1400 boats for sale . All types , and sizes . The biggest thing is that they are overpriced, and stay on there until their ad expires in 29 days , then you’ll see them list it again , same price . Condition is always suspect. I see them listed in excellent condition , and you can see in some of the pictures the seats coming apart or sun rotted , or a cracked motor cover etc etc .
Is there a phrase in boating that equates to “ran when parked”?
Your campfire clapped out pre-(Gulf) war Sigma by Martin is not worth as much as an actual prewar D-18. Sorry.

Sure looks like a 12 inch bait dipper"Vintage" will get you only so far at least on Etsy's picks for fishing nets ($1299.99), "Antique" on the other hand will set you back $1800...better hurry because there is only one left and one on someone's cart already.

Won't name the dealer, but a certain firearms auction house in VA is notorious for overpricing their "estate sale" wares. Like a Steven's 311 side by side that retailed 50 years ago for @200 now listed for 1200... yeah right

I have half a dozen or so of these great bags in various stages of broken in. Maybe they'll be my retirement nest egg in 20 years.

It's all about the patina, lovely. It comes with its own garden plants. I've never seen @Stonedfishs' car but I can picture this hooked up to it.
