$.02

It's the old "Rick from Pawn Stars" concept:

"I'll just throw it on ebay at some ridiculously high price, it will sit there for months, and maybe someone will overpay for it."

Some of these sellers post stuff on ebay with zero intention of selling it. I call them the "Instagram Sellers." They use ebay like Pinterest or IG to just show off their stuff. It can get annoying indeed.

I list a lot of cards on ebay that I have no intention of selling. There are multiple good reasons to do it.

It’s a nice way to highlight what I have available for trade.

It's also a good way to bring people in to your store to buy your reasonably priced cards when you dangle rare high end cards in the window so-to-speak. And it's a good way to start conversations and meet interesting collectors. And yes, sometimes you will even find buyers that will knowingly pay 5x "comps" or more for something that's very special and difficult to find.
