The eBay auction shows no door handle, but Cuisinart CMW-110 webpage [cuisinart.com] shows the handle and no door button.
Wonder what model the eBay seller is really selling?
EDIT: The eBay seller is selling the Cuisinart EM0P042DG, which is a cheap $99 Target version [target.com], not the Cuisinart CMW-110 listed in the auction.
The EM0P042DG is not even listed on Cuisinart's website.
ETA: Some rough 1 star reviews on Target's website, substantial in number.

Still making a profit i'd guess.

These things are just about perfect. I've had massive microwaves that blow fuses, and cheap ones that barely cook. This thing falls right in the middle, and has Inverter AND Sensors. You can get by with either, but both makes it a whole new device.
Inverter microwaves are the only ones that can actually operate at less than 100%. The others simply turn the power off and wait. 50% power = turning on and off. On the other hand, inverter can run at very low power while it senses the temp, defrost, slow start, etc.
For example, put in a frozen dinner from Costco, push the "Frozen Entrée" button. Press start. Thats it. It just comes out right.
Heating up beverages, same thing. There's a pizza option, and a popcorn option. It's honestly amazing how something so cheap can perform so well. I would pay 5x the price for one of these now that I've had it. As someone else mentioned, I don't have huge confidence in the longevity at these prices, but it's well worth it for the convenience and quality I get.

If I were a betting man I would bet it is the cheaper one without inverter technology.
The listing in one place has 840296504246 as the UPC, which is the cheaper one.
The model number in another place is the inverter+sensor one, but the wattage and capacity listed match the cheaper one.
The photos in the listing match the cheaper one.
I will never buy a microwave that doesn't have inverter technology.

And same, I'd never go non-inverter again.
Let's say you're a retailer. You buy 10 items from a manufacturer at $5 each, you've spent $50 total. You plan to sell them for $10 each, that's MSRP. Ideally you can sell all 10 quickly, but you only need to sell 5 to break even, you've then made your $50 back. After that, if the other 5 aren't selling quickly, it's in your best interest to discount the price. Here's the key point: even if you sell them for $4 apiece, which is less than what you paid for them, you're still making a profit!
That's how overstock sales work, and it's why you can find ridiculous sales like this where it seems like retailers are losing money (but they're probably not). It's also how stores like Marshall's and TJ Max work; they sell overstock items for a fraction of their MSRP.
P.S. It's also possible that they're losing money here, because this is a microwave model that simply will not sell at a higher price. So they're just cutting their losses and getting rid of the stock. But it's impossible to say from our perspective, I'm just guessing.
The ebay list pics and product details match this 1.1 cu ft model most Targets carry on the shelves for the last year .

I bought one from Target last year. The power level button died after 8 months. I went through the warranty process and Midea just sent me a refund check.
I was trying to replace my Panasonic that was built in 1999. They really do not build them like they used to.
