is this seller nuts?  

Why yes.
Yes he is.
Plus he does not know the difference between combed oak and primavera.

Gotta love those unreasonable sellers...
This guy is particularly bad. Pretty much everything in his "store" is overpriced by at least 25-50%, or in this case 1000%.
But at least he takes better photos than Jeremiah...

Yeah
Lots o' stuff... All overpriced.

He's a 1stDibs dealer
that strangely still lists on eBay.

Why worry?
They won't sell, so anyone else with similar stuff thinking that they can make a killing will note that these probably won't sell!

Well, barry...
Maybe I'd like to purchase a few of the items he has for sale. Ever think about that? But his pricing is so ridiculous I'd never even think of making him an offer on any of his stuff. It's obnoxious.

hmmm
wow, isn't this delightful, i come back to design addict to see if there's anything new and in the first post that i open i see that someone by the name of lunchbox (someone that i don't know) is throwing me a low blow...
thanks man, you really made my day.
Jeremiah

It was no low blow...
I always go straight for the kisser. Quite simply, you are an annoyance to all of us here who actually give a damn about design. Knowing enough to rip people off does not a design addict make.

OY VEY
.....!

He has a nelson swag side...
He has a nelson swag side table for just under 1K! You can find the same ones on ebay listed simultaneously for 300-500 bucks! Does he not even see this??? Does he really think eBay can get 1st Dibs prices!!! The actual store is only 3 hours from me, and he does get in some great stuff but damn. I would never buy from this greedy moron.
