Ads (mainly ebay) for non-working, missing pieces, etc. items? Am I out of touch?

Having been into audio and high end audio for many years, I have owned much and because of that sold much.  Seemingly a growing thing, mainly on ebay, are items for sale that have problems...something missing,  or not working or damaged.  And yes, an owner should try to sell anything they like, but some of the ads are for too much $ for an item that has problems that make that item not worth what is being asked.

Has the world/intelligence/market changed that much, am I just out of touch with the current mindset of humans?  Perhaps my 1975 Rabbit VW that isn't running and that smashed up front-passenger side is ......ohhhhhhh worth maybe 10 grand?
