In fact his eBay store has insane pricing in general.

To each his own and I understand wanting to turn a profit but a touch or reality is prudent when in business.

odd... i almost wonder if its a conversion issue...  $159 decal sheet?

Foreign sellers on U.S. eBay often amaze me, whether it's car, aircraft or armor kits. Some sellers in China, Taiwan and Japan ask full U.S. retail price, or more, for their kits. Plus a hefty shipping fee. 

Maybe I'm missing something like the conversion factor mentioned. But why on earth would I pay those prices? For hard-to-find Asian kits, Lucky Model, HLJ and several other foreign companies offer the same kits at very good prices, with flexible shipping options. And like many U.S. web sellers, they sometimes have promotions with free shipping, or free shipping if you spend more than $(x).

But usually I can find the same kits from HobbyLinc in Atlanta, MegaHobby, Sprue Bros. etc. without the delay/hassle of foreign shipping.
