No one would start intentionally shopping for a phone priced that high just by looking at this ad. It has to be a more literal clickbait.

UPDATE: I did not consider the currency. The number of responses mentioning currency tells me that’s what I overlooked. I am no longer even mildly infuriated and am therfore a liar 😅

    Could be in some currency besides dollars. Colombian pesos are ~4000 pesos to the dollar and use the dollar symbol as the currency symbol. I’m sure there are other currencies that are similar.

      I see Mexican pesos as $ inside the country as well and either MXN or MX$ when talking to the US branch. 1USD = about 20 MX$. I’m seeing it at $700 USD on sale which would track at about 14k MXN but not sure who else has a similar conversion rate
