I think he's just sweating the possibility of money laundering charges. He didn't realize messing with the highly intelligent Tesla Coiling community would bring down so much suspicion.

I sent a message directly to the seller. This was his response:
"Ok thanks was listed for $35.00 maybe a typographical error tell the forums guys to take a deep breath super odd people are even talking about it says it only has 3 views anyhoodler good day"
I don't believe this for one second. 1) How do you get from $35.00 to $35,250.77? 2) The chances of a "typographical error" in two places is very unlikely (remember the $500 deposit). 3) Why would you list something as " ***ANTIQUE*** Coil Parts** MEGA RARE ONE OF A KIND STUFF UNIQUE!" for something you're selling for $35.00?
I think he's (unsuccessfully) trying to back-paddle and save his reputation. Fail.

Look at his other listings and the price he's asking for an 84 ford van.
