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 still the only game in town for a lot of items. Vintage record albums to name one.

Aside from some of the other reason already talked about, a lot of people are delusional. They think their second hand trash is worth millions.

Saw a person trying to sell a "Rare" Cinderella Black Diamond VHS tape for $400. Those things are a dime a dozen and you get one for $10.00
