    Pretty obvious. Hundreds maybe thousands of expensive items really cheap. No real history selling instruments. I'd stay away from that one.

    EBay has now taken down all of that scoundrel's listings. Too bad, that mandolin looked very interesting.

    He is back, under a different eBay account he has hacked. Yet, the same 1923 Vinaccia mandolin used as a lure.
