Cripes, what's this seller thinking?!? US $8,820.00 for a mirror lens?
But wait, it gets better. 
For a mere US $2,268.00, you can own a Leica lens hood: Click here to see on Ebay Only US $40 for shipping.

nice!
What i think ... they are not planning to sell these products at the prices, but merely using these high ebay prices to 'increase' the market value of the products they sell in their shop.
e.g.
They tell their customer that the market price for this Olympus Mirror lens sells for US $8,820.00 ... referring to Ebay pricing.
Then they say ... they can offer the customer a great deal ... e.g. 50% off  if they buy in the shop ...
It's like first marking up the products with 1000% and then giving huge discount rates to close the sale!

Don't think so because I asked about a lens there once, offered $100 less and they said price is fixed. With their prices, it wouldn't have been much less out of their pockets to just accept and forego the fee.
