It looks like a perfectly legit german seller has his account hijacked by someone in China, who is now running scam auctions under this formerly legit account name. Check the transaction history.

What cracks me up is that the scammer was smart enough to hack the account, but dumb enough to list his location as Beijing. Not real bright.

Classic content: that Porteur was nice, but note that no-one has bitten at 2K. Apropos of which, does anyone happen to know what happened to that old Rene Herse tandem that was on ebay? The black one with the cool parts and messed-up frame? I can't find the completed auction.
