And 2 bids so far.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...7301803224&rd=1 Looks like an identity hijack here. Beware, folks!

And 2 bids so far....http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...7301803224&rd=1 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I especially like the location: INDONESIA, United States Funny thing, though... Malcolm's link takes me directly to it, but in a search for "concertina" on eBay, it didn't show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Read Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Lots of bidders now. I've told ebay and warned the highest bidder. Interesting that this guy hasn't made the bidders names private like they usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) The real auction of this instrument only finished on 6th February (here), when it was sold for what I considered an astonishing £1,040.00. Usually they leave it a good bit longer before attempting a scam like this, though maybe they thought nobody would notice if it was only a one-day auction. Edited for typo.

Stephen Chambers Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I've told ebay and warned the highest bidder.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I notified eBay too, giving them the details of the real auction. I see that they have acted promptly and it is now an : Invalid Item This listing (7301803224) has been removed by eBay or is no longer available. Please make sure that you've entered the item number correctly. If the item was removed by eBay, please consider this transaction canceled. If anybody contacts you to complete the sale, please ignore the request. Completing the sale outside of eBay may be unsafe and will not be covered by eBay purchase protection programs.
