I know everyone writes "rare" on their items, but I thought this was an extreme case on an ultra-common record, it annoyed me enough to send them a message. here is the interaction.

Dear boba.,
Dear boba,
Thank you so much for your interest in our Ebay offerings and
your comments. Rarity is relative - most of those "zillion" copies have
been tossed into the "trash heap" of time and are gone forever.
Yes, it is
played on "oldies" radio often enough to keep it popular with some but
there are those who just cannot hear the songs often enough so must own a
copy for their own enjoyment. Thus, you might note that this copy has
sold. Thanks again and please return often to check out our listings. Have
a great day and Good Luck with your bidding.
Sincerely,
FWMfermare

Dear fermare,
This is like the most common record ever. It still gets played all the time
on oldies radio and sold a zillion copies.
