The auction ends soon with no bids. All of the other seller's items end soon also with no bids and buy it nows.

Hmm, just on basic looks the listing appears clean. I'd say the only way it could be a scam is if someone has hacked all the info and is using this seller's i.d. fraudulently. Hopefully, someone has or has not seen this mandolin up for sale elsewhere with different sellers. I've had good luck asking a question or two, then contacting the seller through ebay after I've won an auction. If the reply comes back through the proper channels with all things looking correct, I go ahead and hit the paypal button.

Closed, no bids. Odd, since it was a reasonable opening bid, and a pretty exhaustive discussion by the seller of all the flaws. Maybe that lousy repair on the headstock curl turned prospective bidders off, but still, less than $3K with the original case...dunno.
