Scam dealer on Ebay?

I have often seen items on ebay with totally insane prices.  The items tend to stay listed for years without selling.  A lot of times, these are from Japan listings.  Gotta wonder what these people are thinking.   Examples are something like Krell KAV-280p for $2,000-3000 (street price is $1200).  Bryston SP2 for something like $3,000 (street price $1200 or so)

"They are selling at such hyper inflated prices that it's comical."
That is what they are asking or Best Offer, not selling. If the price is too high, it won't sell. Take a look at their sold items on eBay. Nothing with a big price has sold.

"Yes, they can sell at whatever they want. It's called price gouging."
If nobody buys it, how is price gouging as there is no sale?

"My warning is to those who may fall victim to their extravagant pricing and hyperbolic descriptions." 
Not all of their prices are out of line, and remember they have a best offer option.  

Not sure why you are defending their obvious bad practice.

      " Not sure why you are defending their obvious bad practice."
I am not defending them, however since all the products have a "Make an Offer" option the asking price is not the last price. By using the offer button one can essentially create their own discount. If they accept your offer, you are paying what you want to pay. If they don't, no deal.
I just don't see the scam.
