You're confusing the going rate for hammers in general, with the going rate for this (possibily defective) individual hammer.

I suppose it depends on where you put the emphasis, but clearly botogol read that to mean the going rate of slightly used but functional hammers.

The sentence could stand to be made a little less ambiguous.
