Default $10k end mill???

This seller has a number of auctions with BIN prices of $10,000, all the
ones I checked have a Make Offer option, but not this one...
I suspect the $10k is a gimmick to get attention and the lack of the
Make Offer option an oversight. Pity the poor buyer that clicks BIN
without paying attention...


Weird.

It may also be a bug in his auction software.

I contacted him asking him if he realized he was a laughingstock right now. Wonder if I
get a response?
