If the lottery came up tonight, this might be my treat...

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

There's some not so fine print in the listing.

Do not bid without approval of the seller?

That's a regular ebay scam. The account was hacked.

Nasty people... not heard of this type of scam before...

There's another one at a slightly higher price and not a blonde... and if the lottery had come up I wouldn't be too fussed over the additional cost... ;)

1959 EB2

That thing's been on eBay half a dozen times in the past few months. Probably is a scam, as previously stated.

Yeah....The same seller had a multi-track I was interested in a few days ago, so I emailed asking about the "registration."

He emailed back asking "which item?" about 15 minutes later and when I looked the listing had already been pulled. That one had a $1200 Buy It Now down in the listing copy but not up in the normal Buy It Now spot.
If you look...ALL his listings have the same "Buy It" price..so some seem cheap while others seem crazy high.

The ads are all now up again with "$2000 Buy It."

Obvious scam...plus the email is a gmail account to hide behind.

There should be a service where people donate $$ online for a cybergoon to go and beat the crap out of these scammers in person. Get some REAL practical use out of "social media."
