I feel like this shows up in any news article about resale markups of trendy merch - the highest-price listing gets the headline, regardless of if it ever sells. I get that these soft-news articles are more about driving traffic to the site than quality reporting, but I'm still surprised (and annoyed!) that these easily disprovable eye-grabbers are omnipresent in this class of story.

One person working on the campaign puts up the listing, and another "buys" it on eBay etc.

Then it's technically somewhat true-ish that "one sold at that price".
