the most Expensive T12 osram tube ever!

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

A typo surely? No-one is ever going to pay that....

The seller will either be away or the item is out of stock, I've seen this listing recently at a reasonable price. Sellers do this so the listing remains higher up in search results due to sales history, which would be lost if the seller ended and then re-listed the item

What if someone won the lottery and decided to buy a pair of osram T12's and for a laugh decided to search highest first on ebay?

I once sent a link to an item on eBay for a friend to buy, the item was priced at about £12. A couple of weeks later the seller must have ran out of stock and bumped the price up to £50, well that's the time my mate finally decided to click the link and purchase said item at the inflated price. I laughed quite a lot after I realised what had happened!

Oops! Maybe a 'temporary out of stock' option would be useful!
