I see this far too often with sellers from Japan. Two different sellers listing the EXACT SAME guitar under different eBay user IDs. I've contacted several in the past and BOTH claim THEIR listing is legit and the other a fake. I see this on Reverb every rarely and it is usually the same inexperienced seller creating new listings to replace old ones and failing to end the old one. I've reported these dupes to eBay to save potential bidders/buyers a scam and nothing. Just like Amazon and Microsoft they've become so large they simply don't care any more. There is almost always a huge price difference as well.

AFAIC I'll pass.

And there are more. Many more.

Whatever they think they are doing it is doing a good job of dashing my interest. :D
