Mind you, they are throwing in a 15W amp into the bargain, and

And four weeks for delivery too.

It looks like they're saying "We don't actually have any at the moment and it would be extremely inconvenient if you bought one right now. But... If you're prepared to pay a grand for it then I'm sure we can manage something...".

The other day Johnston said something about it being cheaper for businesses to increase the price to stop people buying them than to take the listing down and re-list it later, or something.

You could well be right, but the ad does say:

More than [u]10 available[/u]/[color=#0000ff]40 sold[/color]

but if they run out of 'stock' then the listing would end, resulting in the same issue.

eBay should be picking up on these little fee dodgers, but given the amount of money they now charge to sell stuff on there i certainly wont be reporting anyone

I've got a 'grand' waiting to be spent, and I was so disappointed that they didn't have any in stock!
