Runs ebay auctions with bizarre terms (must contact him before bidding???) and unusually low BIN prices, but his auctions always seem to turn to "invalid":

Well i gues if you contact him, and really want to buy it he removes it and sells it without the ebay costs wich can be ridicilously high sometimes.

cheaper this way.

It's now an invalid item, as you predicted, so I can't tell what the auction was about, other than it being for a Ricky bass.

He uses ebay to show his gear, and takes it off when he has a buyer.

maybe this guy is a CIA op, and is using eBay to contact his handler?

:?

p.s. if you don't hear from me within the next four days, I just might have been eliminated for discovering the truth :shock:

BEWARE!!!!

this guy is a total fraud. He keeps hijacking old posts and tries to scam people into buying. I know, I almost was one of them. He doesn't post only lefty gear, he's been in all sorts of categories. I nearly 'bought' a Millennia TD-1 from him. The price was too good to be true, so I contacted eBay customer support, where they told me he's been trying to defraud people for a long time.
If you'll notice, he uses many different seller ID's, but almost always has the same, or similar email where you must contact him first.
You won't get an answer back from the email account he uses on the listing.

I report his posts the minute I see them, and you should too.
