I saw a £40 bike on ebay with a £400 buy it now price. I emailed the seller and asked if the decimal point was in the wrong place. It was a genuine question but I got a sarcastic answer back so I created another ebay account and offered them £200 for it.

I got a reply saying that they couldn't drop the price by £200, presumably they thought I was trying to haggle it down. I ignored it and over the next few months the price was gradually dropped to £200. I then sent them another email from the new account asking if the decimal point was in the wrong place!
