Anybody seen this before?

I knew it had to be too good to be true. Note the $160 shipping for the "dumbell".

Pretty funny:

"I am giving away a free set u E5c headphones with the purchase of the dumbell. The dumbell is slightly rusted and is very old and you will never find a dumbell like this one. Shipping is $10 as always on the earphone and the rest of the shipping is for the dumbell which is quite heavy. The dumbell will have to be put in a separate box. Their may be dumbell fragments or a picture of one."

wow.

What a tricky way of charging full price...

I don't get it!! Why go through the trouble!

Because the seller pays ebay fees based on the cost of the item when it is sold, not on the shipping. So, this is just a very veeeerry thinly veiled method of screwing ebay. But, you`ve gotta admire how blatant it is
