Basically fishing for someone who is not dialed into the market valuation. Not illegal, probably not immoral, but still seems less than admirable.
I see a lot of photos I'd like from people who do this as a living and won't bid for them. Even if I can't find the most recent selling price I assume what they are asking is outrageous.
Moral of the story: bid more at RMY. Cause the next time you see it someone will have it on ebay for way more than they paid for it.

With all do respect steve(hi buddy) photos are not like cards and there is no clear cut market valuation as shown by Andy. This stuff is still evolving. Doubling the price on a photo such as a single pose Josh gibson( probably a 1 of 1) is nothing. Clearly it is frustrating for people who want an item but it is a free market. I ha e been frustrated in the past too. But...Find Another.
Btw-great meeting you in Chicago. Great times.
