Something strange on eBay Australia

[adz]

Could have sworn this same A4000 was on eBay Australia a month or so back, now there is a new ebayer selling it again??? Just seems odd to me.

I do not want to judge the seller as I don´t know him, but I do have to admit that in the past, when I didn´t have a digital camera, I used pictures of another similar auction or what I found on Google to add to my own auction. If this seller has done the same thing then it´s not really the same computer you have seen, only the same picture ...
But on the other hand, his user id has been created on April 24 which is not so long ago ...

Ture, I too have seen this, but even the item description is almost the same, if not identical.

adz : maybe the A4000 didn´t get paid months ago and the seller created a new account ?!  :-?  But maybe the A4000 did get paid and the seller didn´t send it and tries to sell it again  :-?

Well, it's coming up invalid item for me, so I'm assuming that it must have been removed  :-)

Its back.

Perhaps the original buyer never paid up and the seller has changed user id and is now selling again?? :-?  

However, whenever I re-sell something that my previous buyer has not paid for, I do state that on the relisting and dont change my user name!!

Maybe they had a dispute and the seller wad temporarily suspended, and has decided after being reinstated to start again with a new user name??  :-?

Of course, there is always the rogue thought from satan that its all just a scam, but I don't like to judge when I don't know!!  :-D

I think this is the same seller whom I purchased a Commodore 1942 monitor from a month or so ago. I think he's deleted his old ebay account and re-registered under a new name for some reason. What makes me think that is it's written in the same "style" and is also based at Blacktown. I don't want to flick too much mud everywhere but the monitor he sold me is yellow until it warms up and the on/off switch is missing. None of this was advised beforehand which surprised me. Nevertheless, it does work.

*edited*
No, on second thoughts, couldn't be the same. This seller has a feedback score of 103?

Two different sellers within a day or so using the exact same item description used on an A4000 that sold for over AU$500 months ago, hmmmm, something shifty me thinks. This exact A4000 was discussed in this thread, except this time it featured a multisync monitor. I know I sound a tad paranoid, but you can't help but think there is something amiss here.

I've done the Pic grab once or twice.  But I'll be the first to say that I ASKED first from the original owner!!!  I don't see anything wrong using a pic that is more general then specific as long as you use the decription to fill in the differences...

Case in point....
