Haha! I used to live near that shop and have bought the Rustins stuff from them on eBay before. Guess he's exploiting the principle of resource scarcity!

Anyone want a half empty tub? I can let it go for £250

The ebay seller is probably just holding his listing with that price. it used to be a very common thing for sellers to massively increase the price of an item when it was out of stock so they didn't have to end a listing that had good sales history (important for placement in search results).
Note he hasn't sold any since May, which I suppose is when he ran out of stock.
It's not actually necessary to do this these days - ebay now allow you to keep an out of stock listing live for 90 days to maintain your sales history. Downside is you will lose some exposure when you restock as you will have had no conversions from "impressions". This guy will be dropping down the search results for the same reason - plenty of people looking at his listing but none buying due to the price.

/ebay marketing lesson.

Howdy, Stranger!
