    I honestly don't know what to think of <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/gibson-mandolin-f5-doyle-lawson-2004-apral-16_W0QQitemZ7414825698QQcategoryZ10179QQrdZ1QQc


    mdZViewItem" target="_blank">this listing </a> over at the auction site. There are a lot of red flags in the listing, but if it were legit it could be quite a deal.

    Point mouse at the words "this listing" above.
    Edit: Okay, it's blue even if it isn't underlined.

    The biggest clue that it may be a scam is that the bidders ID's are private.
