I understand how the speculation of them being hot could 
start.  However, having sold stuff on eBay in the past, you get a lot 
more interest and bidding by starting at a low price rather than a 
high price.  Part of the secret is knowing how to list items.  Quite 
often a seller may not really know an item and may even misspell the 
items name.  Of course you take a chance that it may go for lower 
than hoped for.  Even an unknown "reserve" price can be discouraging 
to many prospective bidders.  It's a gamble.

I know of people who have purchased equipment from legitimate dealers 
for projects that never happened and then wanted to get whatever they 
could for the equipment to cut their losses.  One fellow I know 
bought a new Zephyr eXtream with three Sennheiser HMD-25 
headset/mics, and a SKB case.  His program failed to materialize and 
wanted to sell the equipment as soon as possible on eBay for whatever 
he could get for the package.  I helped him get very close to what he 
had paid for the equipment.
