While doing my nightly search for "vintage Campagnolo" on Ebay tonight, I found this seller in Japan who seems completely out to lunch when it comes to value.
Just one example - and a kludged-up one at that:
According to the seller that's a $250 seatpost.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Campagnolo-...MAAOSwk5FdzNAP
No description details in any of the auctions I looked into more deeply. Most of his stuff is in well-used, even abused condition, so I really can't understand the over-inflated prices. At a minimum he doesn't look to have done any homework.

Modern masculinity studies?
Found this a while back, took a screenshot. I'm a total sucker for backlit selfies.

I was stopped on a trail, and a guy stopped to talk for a minute. I told him his fork was backward. He looked and he realized I was right. Then he rode on happily.

Dang it. I know that's a whip. Why did I type lasso? I hang my head in shame.

Seems reasonable: eBay Bicycle Bell
The holidays are coming. Good thing there's a payment plan option.

Well, they are accepting offers. Maybe setting a high price is some kind of strategy, but I don't know.
