The synth stuff from "Ghost" was crap, but his orchestral stuff was wonderful, some of it is downright beautiful.

I too find these listings odd for all the reasons stated here, plus a few more. For instance, how did a seller choose the price $458.98? Would $460 have seemed too steep?
As for the vague premises that these are some kinds of tax scams or money laundering schemes… how would those work? And why would anybody laundering money want to pay Amazon their commission? Besides, if these were schemes, the CDs would have to sell, no? But I have listed CDs on Amazon for reasonable prices, where there are also copies listed for these ridiculous prices (buy my copy for $14, or somebody else's for $370!), and from my admittedly small sampling, they seem to sit there for years.
And Morricone, while there are certainly typos from time to time, I don't think you can explain these all away as typos, given that some sellers seem to list hundreds of CDs at these prices.
More than five years ago, I decided to list my copy of the promo of John Debney's "Hocus Pocus" on Amazon. (This was well before Intrada released the score officially.) Looking around, I found it had gone for high prices (but there were none currently listed), so I went big and listed it for $79.95 (which I thought was unlikely, but why not?). The CD sold within four hours (I should have gone higher!). When I shipped it, out of curiosity, I did a Google Street View to see who was snapping up an $80 CD so quickly, and it showed me a dilapidated two-story building with small apartments and plastic lounge chairs out front, surrounded by a parking lot with no car newer than ten years old. I guess it's a big and surprising world out there.
