Hi ya Wes,
Certainly looks like it to me ! The Seattle based member just joined ebay and has NO feedback ! The other seller is known to certain members on the forum and IS the genuine article. That tree has been discussed in another thread. Shall you copy and paste the links in an e-mail to e-bay or me ?? We need to stress which is the fraud.... since they are likely to close both  Cheers, Ian. |

Right,they only need to close one .The tree is being listed again for a small fraction of the original selling price,it looked like dirty work to me and worth a warning to the people who hangout here.

That "camdenhardy28" is obviously not a member here at least !!!
Give it a couple of hours and it should be off. We had a similar one about 6 months ago.... yet that was only a one day listing on a tree of less stature. Just trying to catch out the unaware.... Nice catch Wes,  Regards, Ian. |

It didn't get closed, but it did close without meeting reserve, so there wasn't actually a selling price. This time it's opening at exactly the same amount ($500) as before. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....item=4441047031 I have no idea if it's legitimate or not, but it's about the same deal. There is a note in the original posting (your second link) that the seller pledged not to relist, and warned that if the auction shows up listed outside Slidell, it's a fake. Regards, Matt

Here is the original thread that discussed this tree
http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthread.php?t=17057 The fact that it has now moved from VA to WA and that statement in the original listing surely means it is a fake. Certain members on here even seemed to know who owns the Tree, or at least which nursery it is... so maybe they will chip in later. Cheers, Ian. |

Wow..... e-bay are getting pretty quick !
Within 1 hour... the listing has been closed and the member is "no longer registered". That will be a shock to the person when they come to check their loot ! Ian. |
