Most sellers do that often when they are out of stock. Instead of cancelling the auction an re-listing it an paying the listing fee when it comes back in. Since eBay fees are getting stupidly high lately.

On line stores sometimes have automatic pricing adjusters. These do not always have upper limits. The way it works is that they survey the market and sometimes decide that they can make the best profit if they maintain their price a little higher than other sellers. The software automatically sets the price a small percentage higher than the designated competitors. The problem comes in when two or more competitors are using the same strategy. Then each one drives the other price up. Without an upper limit, it just keeps going higher until someone realizes what is happening.
Sometimes they go the other way, making their price a small percentage cheaper. However, they usually set a lower limit when they do this.

Quart size... what are you doing, painting a whole tractor? I bought a 12.8oz rattler can at my local Kubota dealer for $11.45. Not cheap but is very good paint IMO and retouches well. On eBay it is going for $12.50 but $10 more for shipping! :shocked:1 Can New Kubota Orange Touch Up Spray Paint 70000 73713 | eBay

TSC has Magic (brand) spray paint specifically labeled "KUBOTA ORANGE" for $4.99.
The color TSC offers is the current Kubota orange.

That is expensive... but the last time I check with my dealer it was $38.00/quart + tax. That was when the New Kubota Orange just came out, and Sherwin Williams could not match it. Hopefully there are clones out there now.

I bought the Kubota Orange implement paint from TSC made by Solignum Coatings and it matches my new Kubota and Land Pride implements perfectly. Can't see a difference.
And it is very durable and less prone to sun fade than the factory paint.
Repainted my Kubota mailbox with it as it turned from orange to yellow within three days. Now it has stayed orange.
