Are people on Ebay nuts?

Somewhat along the same lines.....
I had no idea that pre-1982 (95% copper) Pennies were actually selling at almost 2x face value on Ebay. I know that's the metal value, but given that it's illegal to melt these things down for repurposing, that seems crazy. I guess folks are expecting laws to change at some point.
These are not just listings, they're actual sales. I guess I'm very behind the times on these things.
