Scams?

Someone from Andorra has posted a large number of ads on eBay for various
scopes. The opening bid is $1.00, but in one case 2 more bids supposedly
drove it up to $8,988--for a Tak FC60 and Teegul mount! This looks to be the
work of a shill.

Also, someone is offering every Takahashi scope for far below the street
price with no reserve. The seller claims to be from the United States but
prices everything in Australian dollars.

There is no question that this seller is a fraud! He has posted 1,800
auctions, all for expensive items and most during the same week if not the
same day (a very busy fraud). He signed up with ebay only last week. I
already alerted ebay.

Hi:

Probably. No doubt about it. Especially if, as most of them, he want you to
wire him the money.
