   Speaking of
the two on ebay, that seller has (what seems to me   to be)
  very high prices on their items.  I've had
their stuff on a   watch list
  for months and it never sells.  Does anyone buy
stuff from them?
 Their descriptions are nothing more than part numbers, they rarely
 have photos and the prices seem high.  (They also seem   determined to
  give me the impression that other people sell
similar parts that are
 not "genuine parts".)  Has anyone ever purchased anything from them?  
 Not me.  Another example of why I wish eBay would let buyers 
 filter out
 certain sellers :-).  These guys have become a significant 
 fraction of
 my "false positives" when I search eBay.

 I don't know if their business plan is working for them, or not.  
 I imagine
 a lot of similar stock sits around in "call for price" stores for 
 months at
 a time.  I assume this is one of those, who is trying out online 
 sales.(If I have to call them, I don't consider it an online sale.)

Ebay does let you exclude sellers:

Ebay main page> Advanced Search> Advanced search

(which is the 'Find Item' page),  and then you can exclude or include up to 10
sellers
