Is that a good price on 10-20 F3.5? Half are gone already.

When you click on those 3 sold you see that one sold last time for $622 US : 3 sold

So I think that seller has changed the price to US $6,132.75 either by mistake or in order to attract somebody with too much money :P

I can't see the gold or gems in it but they must be in there somewhere.

Drug smuggeling, money laundry or just diamond glass.

Maybe they have a reason to maintain the listings but don't want to sell them right now. They're offering some other Pentax lenses (Ltds) for the exact same price right now - perhaps this is what they do when they're actually out of stock?

This is common practice for sellers who are waiting for new stock and want to keep their current listing.
No-one will buy at this price.
You often see Pentax cameras well over priced for the same reason.
