Put something ridiculously high priced when something is worth only 50 bucks maybe? Not saying this item isn't worth a lot because a domain name is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay but I see so many auctions that have high prices on them that are stupid.

From time to time you will see sellers do this to drive traffic to a particular listing and then get them to view their other listings. Sort of like a Featured item but without having to pay for the featured position. You simply raise your BIN so you are first in the listings when sorted by price.
