We all browse the internet looking for things. We make mental wish lists or start doing research for an upcoming purchases. From time to time, we come across things that are typos.
Like this one, that we came across on eBay. It is listed as a 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 and the guys wants $300,000. At first glance you just assume that someone hit an extra zero and the price should have been 30k. We clicked on it and found that it is 300k because he is actually selling 6 of his Land Cruisers for a total of 300k. Makes sense, no big deal.
But when there is a listing like this “Duramax Diesel Engine Repair Manual Chevrolet GMC Truck Van 6.6 Liter 2001-2013” for $105,572.08 you have to pause. Then when you click on the link and find that the 105k listed is actually a sale price down from $111,128.50 it becomes even more strange.
The listing is for a Haynes Duramax Diesel Engine Repair Manual. A quick search on Google turns up a bunch of them for less than $30. Our question to you is this… how have they sold 59 of these manuals?
If you work the math out that would equal $6,228,752.72.
Sure the Haynes manuals are great manuals that have lots of detail and instructions. But really, 105k. According to the listing on eBay; This new book has 272 pages filled with troubleshooting, diagnostic trouble codes, routine maintenance, engine repairs and overhauling how to, cooling system, fuel and engine management systems, electrical systems and emissions control systems.
Did we miss mentions of gold or any illicit drugs? What do you think?
