Not to compete with Phil's "High-Priced Buy of the Week", this one, I feel, is so outrageously priced that no one will buy it.

http://corpuschristi.craigslist.org/pho/2564830006.html

(note that the seller thinks that the singular form of "lens" is "len"...as in, "one len, two lens".)

EDIT:  Whoops!  Found an even better/worse one here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Leica-12503-Lens-Hood-50mm-f1-2-Noctilux-Exc-/300589755311?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fc8babaf
Y'know what?  Under the circumstances, if you're gonna be crazy enough to buy a $5,000 lens, you're prolly gonna be crazy enough to buy a $3200 hood fer it.

Oh, my...FREAKING...god.

And the winner probably assumes that, with this purchase, he will now be a professional photographer.

Oh, to be feeelthie rich.  Guess the buyer will be looking for a hood now.  That Craig's List one isn't looking too bad now.  But then the eBay one does come with the Series VII UV filter, which I've seen selling for way over $100.
