looks like it's not just mouthpieces that are going for ridiculous prices -

Here's another item to tempt you if you have just won the lottery - a Selmer Mk VI tenor sax with an asking price of £15,000:

SELMER MK6 TENOR SAXOPHONE

Unfortunately, the seller makes no comment about how it plays.

Or if you think that is a little expensive, the same seller has a Mk VI soprano for a mere £9,000.

are they mad? - A Vandoren Blue Jumbo Java A45 with 13 bids, 1 day 2 hours to go and it's up to £1100 -
VINTAGE BLUE VANDOREN JUMBO JAVA A45 ALTO SAXOPHONE MOUTHPIECE | eBay

or buy a black one, send it to a refacer and save £900...

selling fraudulent goods on ebay...? naughty cat

Why is it fraudulent?
If you had a wooden box and painted it blue you could describe it as a blue box so if you describe it as a blue mouthpiece you're being truthful.
Bear in mind the saying 'a fool and his money are soon parted'.

There's something strange about that auction. When I posted it was bid up to a higher level than it currently is at. There have been three bid retractions, two of them in the small hours of the morning, one for £1250, the other for £2,000. Hmm, I know what I think, I'll leave you to make up your own minds.

Has sold for £1341. Absolute insanity. While I was waiting for the auction to end, I was looking at a very stylish and servicable motor bike for less than that.

Was it a blue one?

Indeed it was. Very lovely, and much better value than a shonky Jumbo Java
