I'm sure it is a mistake but it made me smile that he says cash on collection only... and emphasises UK buyers only!  

Like someone from Europe is not allowed to come over here and buy the case.  I think saying 'Collection Only' would have sufficed.

Could be a mistake, although it could be a promise to sell things off- 'Honestly Darling, I keep listing it all, but no-one bids!'.

There is also the potential for money laundering with this kind of thing. Actually, checking the account, about a third of the seller's listings are low value items listed for ten grand. Whatever they're playing at, it's not a mistake...

The money laundering thing happens on Amazon as well. Someone lists a really boring book on, say, the statistics of left-handed spigot trunnions, for a way higher price than any genuine buyer would pay. The transaction is used to send criminal funds, making them look like a legitimate purchase.

Alternatively, the seller is just inviting offers and doesn't want to put too low a ceiling on these.

They have a tatty old plastic leyland mini grille for ten grand too, plus I think another item, their other stuff is cheapo "clear out" bits, so I think its an error somehow ! ..... But always fun to see what turns up on ebay for mad money :)
