Quality has it's value, apparently

I think no one is going to disagree with me when i say that "quality has it's value." It doesn't matter what it is, wether it is a game, a sculpture or whatever, if i think it is good, then i am willing to buy it for a reasonable amount of money... or i'm becoming a pirate.
I want to give out thanks to a guy named "ZwiebelOttah" who came across this pretty awkward amazon auction:

As you can see those people sell the game "Guild Wars 2". They own the game, but they sell it, so it is a second hand version of the game. The first two offerings are pretty legit, don't you think? 45,00€ for a second-hand version of the game. But the third one. Really? I mean yeah, 3.500€ for a second-hand version, but 3€ forwarding charges? Are you serious? This is an outrage. I would even call it daylight robbery. If you can get a new version of the game for like 45.00€, sure. But this is a second-hand version for 3.500€! Who would be able to resist that offer? But 3€ forwarding charges? Come on!

(By the way: If you think i photoshopped this, then i've got 2 arguments who will outplay that accusation.
First: I don't have, thus i don't use Photoshop.
Second: Here is the link if you don't believe me:
