Not a bass, but can somebody tell me what possible reason the seller would have for listing this over 50 times?!. Seriously, I'd like to know what the intent is here, and why this isn't a violation of ebay policy (unless the guy actually has over 50 '77 antigua strats):

How do you tell how many times it's been listed?

The listing was removed. AFAIK from what I've seen on other forums, the auction was a fraud. ( i never saw it )

I counted the listings. He actually had over 50 auctions running for the same item. :shock:

All have since been removed. What makes it even stranger is the guy had over 1500 feedback ratings and a 99.7% overall rating.

Weird. I wonder if his account was hacked and hijacked?

Wow, weird...

I saw that he had a crapload of forged military certificates for sale, which would make one skeptical of buying anything from him in the 1st place, but... I didn't see all of the other listings for that guitar.

God, I hate losers like that.
