Why are so many things on Ebay even more expensive then what the item would be brand new from the store?

I was searching for a Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto which is $80 brand new in a store, but on Ebay they are anywhere from $100 to $200. Even if it is pre-owned. It seems impossible that anyone is ever going to buy this so what is the purpose of these listings?

    Ebay is like a free market in itself. If someone post a product and it sells for an extravagant amount then other sellers will increase their prices… because capitalism and all that.

      Capitalism is not “when you sell things for profit.”
