Sssspedster listed that bike a few months ago and someone copped the photos
and has been using that bike to perpetrate a scam ever since - over and over
and over (as in more than a dozen times). It's really a shame, because some
people might think Sssspedster's auction is a scam, after the bike has been part
of one so many times. The thing to keep in mind, too, is that this particular
scam appears to involve pirating of someone's eBay ID. In this case, the prior
reliability of the seller is, sadly, not an indication of the reliability of
the sale. Another thing is that the scam Masi comes up with a search of "Masi,"
but is actually listed in weird categories in some cases have nothing to do
with bicycles; in this most recent case, it's listed under full suspension
mountain bikes. For some reason, the seller must think he can avoid detection by
eBay authorities if he does this. Bottom line is, Sssspeeder's sale is legit,
and is a nice twin-plate repaint GC that was priced too high to sell the first
time - interesting to find out where the reserve is now.
