George, Agreed.. as Crazy bay , ebay puts it "All the better to serve you!" as so they say. So no it is not just you. Tom
And for those of us who didn't get the above reference... which would include me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Serve_Man_(The_Twilight_Zone) On the plus side, it is free shipping.
Ok so I have been watching this one for over 3 years... yes folks for 3 years. So they were listed, until just the other day, for $300 and now you can own an obsolete piece of Digitrax history for only $149 each! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/133104970973 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/133104971091 I have sent this guy a few messages about the nature of this product and how it is no longer usable, and how they usually sell, if they sell for under $10, and he replies that he sells these all the time for $300... oh and he knows what he is doing... ok... good luck.
It appears this seller has his head in the sand, if he'd just take a look around ebay he'd find, you can purchase a new UT4 cheaper than his current price on that outdated UT1. My guess is this seller knows absolutely nothing about Digitrax or the model railroad hobby and just came across this stuff as part of an estate sale.
This is a sick looking Loco !!! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223857204753
