I stumbled across this and couldn't believe it. Is this guy serious??? It can't be a typo (at least I don't think so), because he has 3 listings for the CFL kit and they're all $999.00. What's worse is that he's sold anywhere from 10 to 22 of them. Just when I thought that was bad, I looked at his other listings and he has a cool tube reflector listed for over FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS that he's sold 16 of. WTF???

Check this shit out:

Maybe the guy is taking a shot at an idiot, ya know? Just incase there is a total jackoff with too much money who figures it is something way sweeter than it is, and buys it. Who knows though....
 
From the auction:

Completely assembled
Cool tube design
Lightweight
Durable
Works with MH and HPS
Works with 250w through 1000w
Measures 22"L x 20"W x 7"H
Sealed air-tight design
6” Flange for duct connecting
Power coated steel
Lamp not included but available on our website

No bulb included? For $4200.00? Okey-dokey!

The very same reflector is selling elsewhere for $95.00. Add a Hydrofarm XtraSun 1000w switchable ballast for $189.99, and a Hortilux EYE 1000w Super HPS bulb for $65.00 - that's a grand total of $349.99 for a COMPLETE lighting system. Divide that into $4200.00 and you've got TWELVE complete lighting systems, or twelve-thousand watts of power, or 1,740,000 lumens (@145,000lu/bulb) - enough lighting to accommodate a small warehouse.

Sixteen buyers would indicate to me one of two things:

1. Sixteen complete and total morons shelled out $67,200 to screw themselves, and if that's the case - they deserve it.
2. Sixteen Nigerian con-men just sent the seller a bogus check, each in the amount of between $6000 and $9000, and will soon be requesting a refund for the difference, and if that's the case - he deserves it.
