Welcome back Mike! Good to see you here again,
That seller has a LOT of listings that are absurdly priced, but if you want another one search for Walter tools listing from a seller that goes by "zoro_us". They are trying to sell those new tools at prices far exceeding list prices, often don't have photos at all and when they do the photos are usually the wrong item!
I know this because I have the current price list, know the tools extremely well and checked...they're not even an authorized distributor and state that the items "ship from the manufacturer in 10 days." I've bought from authorized distributors who drop ship from the manufacturer in TWO days. They offer "free shipping on orders over $50" which all of their grossly overpriced stuff is. What a deal!
Here's an example, the tool lists for $513.00

Here's an F4033 face mill cutter (I have one and know what they look like) which is listed as an F2334 button cutter. The real one is a 6" button cutter, lists for $1,209.00 and uses ten 10mm round inserts. I can just imagine if someone bought that one based upon the photo and got the tool as its description indicates.
