but why wouldn't you find the cheapest price for an object on autotrader/etc and just discount by 10-20%? Why go for the RIDICULOUS stuff... raises a lot more red flags

You have to understand that the majoriety of people are underinformed (or just complete idiots) and just like a fishing lure, if it's shiny/sparkles (in this case because it's cheap) they'll all flock and bite.
Never know what the scam is either. Maybe he's just looking for active email addresses/phone numbers that they can sell to other scammers. The low price will most certainly bring him lots of "impressionable" contacts.
