The seller waited too long. If they had posted immediately after the crime, maybe someone in the tribe would have still been around and cared enough to buy it for that price, but it's just not worth 35k.
It's especially not something any raider will want to see buy and turn in. As the seller points out, it will be #1 for a long time once it is turned in. That means that many people will miss out on the chance at an executioner's axe once this scalp goes up at #1. The only reason anyone has to buy this scalp right NOW is to avoid him turning it in himself and blocking anyone else from getting their own axe for the next several months. That kind of thing might be worth 5k.
Think about it, you buy this scalp, turn it in, get your axe, and then tomorrow, you kill someone with 200 points more than the previous first place. Then you kick yourself because you could have had two axes.
But you can't buy it and sit on it. You might have it for a long time and maybe someone will manage to steal it from you in the meantime, 35k down the drain. Or you might wait until the #1 spot gets over 5k and turn it in, but maybe someone suddenly turns in a 7k scalp before you have a chance to use your biddas scalp. Again, wasted money. :/
