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?

    Is that device out of production? They might be counting on limited availability to jack up prices.

    Is that product not available in all markets? They might be counting on someone in Sweden, who might not be able to buy that device is willing to pay a premium.

    Was there a recent price drop? Maybe this is listed in the product’s old peice amd they are slow to drop it.

    I wonder if it it just straight up money laundering.
