The item never sold, not surprisingly...
but I don't think the seller was trying to "scam" anybody. we aren't talking about a powerseller or even a "regular" seller. it seems to me that he is just a casual eBay member that was trying to get as much as possible for a rig that he probably got ripped off on himself, lol
That seller has been a member for 3 years and in that time has only sold 5 items. He has a feedback of only 19, but it's all positive. so again, I don't think we're talking about any scams here, just somebody who underestimated the intelligence of the eBay community (who collectively showed him otherwise by not bidding on it)
as for the listing inconsistencies, it would appear to me that the inexperienced seller may have used the "sell a similar item" link which appears on other people's listings, then simply didn't change the specifications in the automatically filled out "item specifics" section. eBay recently changed their listing formats, so if you're not used to the newer (easier) system, then it's easy to make a mistake like that when listing the item.
I'll give the seller the benefit of the doubt that they simply weren't used to the newer listing format, and didn't intend to screw anybody over. the only person that lost out on that auction was the seller who now has to pay listing fees for an unsold item
cheers :wave:
