It's a pretty serious thing. Sounds like eBay could easily be violating the law too: http://www.naw.org/govrelations/advi...?articleid=563

I saw that, now it has another bid. I'm starting to think that maybe Hillbilly has the right idea, blow it up with $100,000 bids and see if that gets ebay's attention.

My only other overly-charitable guess is, maybe eBay's been burned by booting genuine items, so now they're shying off. (Not taking bets on this one, either ... it's only a nano-bit more likely than "sting theory.")

Maybe they've sunken into depravity. If so, sounds like they're asking to be sent down to Hurtsboro County.

Getting more interesting. Up to $5100 and most of the bids are by e***i who has 0 feed backs. Looks like eBay to me.
Since the seller is not offering a return, my understanding is that if it sells and is counterfeit eBay will need to make good on it. I just read their buyer protection policy.

No good deal anyway but getting a fake at currently $5100 would really make you want to eat your fist.

It is tough watching somebody about to learn a hard lesson. I am surprised no one has used the 'Ask a question' on the seller's listing page. Something like: "The guitar pictured does not look at all like a Martin D18. Do you have proof this guitar is really a Martin D18?" It would show up on the listing page and put people on notice something may be wrong no matter what the seller may answer--if a possible bidder would read that far.
