This ebay seller really annoys me. Here's just one of his items:
VINTAGE 1938 Rollei Rolleicord Drp Drgm TESSAR 7.5Cm/3.8 Twin Lens Camera.READ | eBay
For months he's been trying to sell what he claims was father's collection, and he wants to sell them for parts or not working, which I understand. But with every listing he posts an abusive rant including that "photography is dead." No way am I going to buy from this seller. And the prices are to high for parts and not working. Here's his rant:
VERY IMPORTANT !! FOR ME IF ANY FILM CAMERA WAS NOT TESTED WITH FILM IS AUTOMATICALLY ,,UNTESTED,, THAN THIS IS A REAL REASON FOR RETURN THE CAMERA TO SELLER!
ATT.:READ CAREFULLY THE DESCRIPTION! DO NOT WRITE AFTER PURCHASE THAT YOU EXPECTED NEW FUNCTIONING CAMERA. PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR DECISION.
READ FEW TIMES TO UNDERSTAND!
This is for collector not a photographer.From collection of my father,exhibition camera. DRP/DEUTSCHE REICH PRODUKTION/ 985117 DRGM. With original leather case. I DO NOT GIVE ANY WARRANTY!! AS IS! UNTESTED, MAY OR MAY NOT WORK! CONDITION:AS IS! For parts or repair.Price calculated as parts value and eBay provision.I am not photographer,I do not know how to test the stuff properly. The independent technical expertise of equipment cost average $100.00 and does not give warranty that client will not complain it and eBay keeps clients right first!!In many cases expertise cost is greater as value of offered item!! SALE IS FINAL NO RETURNS.No front lens cap.Lens is old:The buyers can find dust,fungus and scratches even in new lens if they want it !! My info is honest and true,I do not try to hide anything. Product images are of the actual item up for sale.IF YOU WANT TO DO A PICTURES WITH THIS CAMERA /old fable/but,film photography is dead! DO NOT BUY IT.I WARNED YOU!! This is the main reason of all returns!!
Shipped with USPS Mail continental USA only.

Every untested camera I tried buying on ebay was untested because they couldn't test it -- it wouldn't wind and fire.

I don't think he's going to get his starting bid. I wonder what happened to that poor camera.

I'd say the buy it now prices are excessive, but I think almost all final sales prices on shopgoodwill are excessive for camera equipment. I've only recently started following camera equipment on shopgoodwill, and I'm baffled by the place. Usually untested with no guarantee, yet selling prices seem generally well above prices on ebay.

Yes, misleading title and weird listing. The photos of the lenses are awful--they appear to be take on the floor on a dirty carpet. Is that a shoe in the background of a couple of them?
