The first listing has been removed.

You are saying it was a scam?

It looked like someone had their account hacked and had it for sale, it was the exact same pics and description as the original listing but was a different seller. The listing price started at $13 and the guy stated that the buy it now price was $1300 (but there was no buy it now option) and that if you wanted to buy it you had to either e-mail or call this guy and set up payment that way, but if you bid on it through ebay he would cancel your bid. Shady people out there.

ODS eBay scam

Yeah, I checked it out, too. I sent the guy an e-mail asking specific questions like: "why such a low buy-it-now price?" and "why was the ad originally removed" and "why was it not sold immediately at that price". I received what appeared to be an automated response that answered none of those questions, and no further reply when I asked why they were not answered. The fact that the ad is still up there with a 'B.I.N.' price of $1,300 should tell you something. If it was legit, the amp would have sold in a minute!
