Just a quick reminder to everyone to be particularly diligent on checking seller details on eBay - I've been tracking a fraudulent seller for 6 weeks now, and they include Isco and other anamorphics in the listings. They've been hacking eBay accounts of highly rated sellers with very high positive feedback to lure in buyers. Three easy things to check for:
Do they provide an email address off eBay to contact them on? Two I've been tracking are marhef.ebay@gmail.com and over4.ebay901@gmail.com
Is the email address displayed in a picture (ie you can't highlight/select the text, this is one method they use to hide from eBay fraud detection)
Look at their other items for sale, you'll see a distinct pattern (highly sought, often rare, listed for a low number but all asking the same high price in the description)
The first time I tracked this seller, I worked with eBay to remove 35 fraudulent listings totaling around $85k (most had bids registered). The second time I found him (last week) he had listed over 170 items totaling $425k!!!
Be skeptical, ask around (and I'm still looking for an Isco 36 non-MC, very keen buyer here!)
