Yep, I reckon someone's 'bay account has been hacked.

If you have a look at their other items for sale, lots of very desirable high dollar items from a wide range of interests, all the same deal.

**EDIT: Have now reported them**

Cheers,

I may bid $3, pay by cheque and hope that everybody else thinks it's a scam but is in fact too good to be true!

Yeah looks like it. Something is very wrong with that seller. Their huge feedback history is for book sales but now their list of items for sale is rare collectable items like vintage guitars and very rare collectable moog synthesisers etc with the same sale description. My guess is their account has been hacked. Big switch from books to these sorts of items.

A case of "caveat emptor" me thinks.

I've bid $5 on it.
Fingers crossed.

It's been a long standing scam, and oft-reported on Cloudy Nights.

I could smell 'scam' before I even clicked on the link hehe.

You don't need ebay to sell AP refractors. I could never have coughed up the 10% charge for selling my AP, rather have the buyer get a good deal. Thank you IIS classifieds

Frankly I am more shocked at the thought that anyone could not automatically recognise it as a scam.

I sent an email to that address and it bounced.
