Could be, if the buyer is unaware about the Canadian / US online dealers.

From the people, that know, that possible to buy everything on ebay....so he bought.

This could explain it.
As the person, who not inside the world of numismatics, and want to present some respectful gift - definitely, the purchase of this set via ebay will be the good deal for him, without knowing that he overpaid.

If it's not for some members here, many of us don't even know this set was on sale last week below the issue price. If I need to get some Lego, I wouldn't know where to get the best deal.

Sorry for off-topic

Just for general info - the Lego sets distributed in Canada by Toys R US , Mastermind, Walmart , Toys Toys Toys....probably others, but these are the main.
Like the coins - if some set (Lego) discontinued - it's price reaches 200% - 300% (probably more).

All above just by experience from LEGO Hero Factory series, that my son like to build and play with.
