Ebay are aware of this, so the second listing might be withdrawn before anyone reads it.

The second item lifts the pics and text out of the first and was posted while the first was still running. I had put a search in for Polytones, but had already bought one and was just curious as to what prices others might fetch. In the last few minutes of the first listing, I got an alert from eBay about the second listing.

7411665154, from the UK is described as used. 9723904826, from China is described as new.

I suppose the advice is never to leap in and bid without comparing every searched for item. That's so obvious. But out of the 100 million odd community out there, someone's going to be taken for a ride.

Minutes after posting this, the Chinese one was withdrawn.

The wording was the same, right down to the spelling mistakes and his wife expecting! But he added that he was not to be confused with ordinary eBayers in the quality of his service!

Did he mention what that quality was? or just that he was one of a kind?
