People do once in a while, click the wrong item, buying from the wrong seller. It may be rare, but with one and a half million listings, they could be getting a couple a day. Then they have a 10% restocking fee, so they are guaranteed at least $187.22 per order.
I was actually more curious about where all the new copies came from that are sold by multiple sellers at much more reasonable rates. At one point, the lowest price on amazon was over $1000, it's still out of print, somewhere some cases of them must have been found.
