A 10k k-1?

[mrmando]

Here's the original ad (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=370023652850) for a 1913 Gibson K-1 mandocello.

Now here's the fake (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280202808781). Copy of live listing, outside contact info, AND shill bidding up over $10,000.

I was going to comment that I have not been noticing as much obvious mando-fraud on eBay, but now this comes along.

Wow I don't think I've ever seen a listing ripped off before the real auction had ended. Some people have no patience.

It's gone now...

But the original listing is still going for another eight hours, and is at a most attractive price so far ($1825!).

That's another odd thing about this one. I'm more used to seeing these obvious rip-off listings with too-good-to-be-true low prices. Someone out to teach this clown how to run a scam!
