Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

You guys know the story with that grandus guy? He was on the FB G1 page. I think he paid $100 USD for some lot of TFs from someone and it included this plus an artfire with box (which he sold for $1100 usd).

And i thought i got a good deal when i got an unused Grandus off gumtree for 400AUD a few years ago

so this Grandus, I've never seen it before, it is a Japanese release of something that would have gone with the micromaster playsets?

Yeah it goes with Star Convoy and Sky Garry. Part of the JP release. I'd like it but maybe I will get lucky on Gumtree or something as well one day

He also had a couple of lines in Transformers Animated - when the human detective transwarped to Cybertron and was almost stepped on by a large trasformer

I have a grandus but the arm is broken at the shoulder joint. Still boxed from when I was a kid

From memory there are computer programs using algorithms that set prices on large volumes of items. You will notice the seller has feedback in excess of 200k. It is all done by computer program so no one is really checking it. The parameters for the items are input then the program bases item prices off of a number of different criteria. Occasionally they get caught in a loop. If 2 programs are using each others corresponding item it can drive up the price on both items. I remember this glitch on Amazon once where a $30 book was going for over $1M from 2 sellers

That explains it then. I didn't know there were listing programs out there too (I'm old )
