World's most useless capacitor product?

I'm sure this has been posted before, but can't find it...

Notes:
1) their "large" capacitor is only 1000uf, dwarfed by the capacitance available on every motherboard I've ever seen.
2) adding an extra pair of connectors to the circuit probably adds far more resistance-based problems than would ever be solved by adding capacitance.
3) why does that look like a badcap, likely to fail, causing problems?

Why does this exist? What purpose does it serve?

Why did someone pay 8 bucks for it? This makes no sense.

it serves the purpose of leaving you with 8 bucks less in your wallet

Good point. Utterly wasteful, though.

Actually, he paid 13 bucks. don't forget shipping.
