When did a common tessar ever become this desirable?

Marketing. Alas ebay has become responsible for a lot of people parting with a lot of money for things that just ain't worth the price. Couple that with the world being full of incredibly stupid people, and this is the result. Let's face it, the Tessar is a perfectly good lens, but it ain't what you'd call spectacular.
Right, better get my marketing head on and see if I can talk this Industar 50 rare original Alumium body, really rare, did I mention it's rare? Better than a tessar and more rare. It's so rare, it's rarer than a Tessar, and the picture quality is so good, it's rarely seen. Did I mention how rare it is? And I am a keen amateur photogcrapper, so i really know what I'm talking about - that alone is rare. Buy it now for the very rare price of only one-hundred-and-ninedy-nine-ninedy-ninedy-ninedy-nine... don't be square, be rare! Don't forget, this is the really rare aluminium one that's better than a Tessar and only shipped on 15 million Zenits, this sucker is rare.......

My guess only: when 2 buyers with almost zero experience try to get something which is described by seller as a very desirable item

voytek is right, the high bidder have 0 bid and probably think he will buy a Zeiss but he will receive a Jena

Newbies have to learn the hard way, I guess.
Or the high bidder is a friend of the seller just there to artificially raise the bidding amount. |

Since the seller also has a low eBay transaction record, perhaps out and out shilling ?

a tessar equivalent of 28mm is great and the 1/1000s is nice for bright sun
