Am I missing something, or is this seller taking the piss?
Probably just a typo as RDG sell the chucks for about £40 and the collets would bring the price upto £124.

Looks auspiciously like an extra '1' and not checking what was written :)
£5 delivery looks reasonable to me...
Probably a typo but there is a seller called top_quality_tools IIRC who seems to ask about twice or more the normal retail price for a number of items I've looked for so I wonder what the idea is there. I know there is a tactic of selling at a high price even when it's not worth it so buyers think they're getting something special, maybe that's it.
It's also a tactic i've seen on eBay when a supplier is actually out of stock, but he doesn't want to drop the advert and go through the cost/bother of relisting later.
Well, if he bought it from a dealer, he probably paid as much or more for it. If it's a dealer, there's the 20% vat to deduct + the listing and final value fees
Take a look at this:

If you would like a complete Watchmakers Lathe CousinsUK have a nice Bergeon for £24,950.00 plus VAT. That does include a complete set of collets however.

I guess the seller must have a few items out of stock then judging from this listing
I contacted RDG about a similar matter, and they confirmed to me that's what they're doing. Put it on your watch list and when it's back in stock the price drops again.
