Go into Amazon, then through sports and outdoors, bags and packs until you end up at Hiking backpacks.  Sort the results so that it shows them ranked from most to least expensive.

Then consider: what would you expect from a rucksack that cost as much as the highest priced one on offer?

T.

Ha ha, the one that’s £23k ?

Hmmm, I don’t like the colour!

Plus £1.50 delivery - what a p155 take

I remember when a bloke from work bought his Mrs a handbag from a shop in Houston for 8K , I had no idea at the time you could spend so much on one, apparently he rang her and told her what it was exactly and she said " well it' not the one I wanted, but it will do" 

I suspect this is a Chinese seller getting his currency exchange rate slightly wrong!

There is a method of money laundering using Amazon. There are a lot of self published authors who charge huuge sums for a downloadable pdf. I believe that some terrorist groups have use similar tactics with ebay, when doing money transfers to their operatives. Or, it could be that they've missed a decimal place or three by accident.

I think some sellers are charged if they cancel a sale, so once it is not available they just alter the price to something unreasonable to avoid it.

Probably a algorithmic pricing fail.

Seller One sets pricing algorithm to be update pricing every morning to be slightly higher than Seller Two (say 1.10 X Seller 2 Price)

Seller Two sets algorithm to update price every evening to be slightly lower than Seller 1 (say 0.95 X Seller 1 price)

So if both start their prices at £1, after the first morning SellerOne has updated the price to £1.10, then in the first evening SellerTwo has updated to a price of £1.05,

At the end of the second day SellerOne will be at £1.15, SellerTwo will be at £1.09.
If that continues in 30 days they'll be at £4.12 and £3.91.
In 300 days they'll be at £571693 and £543109

Suddenly makes the Tupilak seem reasonably-priced.

You could get a simond one from decathlon for £40

I have heard that some sellers do this if the product is not actually available so it keeps coming up in searches, even if set to "in stock only", but no-one is actually going to buy it - once back in stock, the price will drop.

It's also potentially free advertising, as someone will say "ooh, I like that, but I'm not paying that" and then look elsewhere to get it at a "proper" price.

The pink is available at no extra cost to Prime and is £288 cheaper.
