HELP!!!!! POSSIBLE EBAY SCAM

Great North West is owned by Bill Woods, not Bill Marsh, who is a fellow forumite here. I suggest you contact him. He may well have sold this to the eBay seller some time ago. So people don't necessarily get their sites as up to date as they should.
The eBay seller has a very good rep with over 1000 transactions so i would not be so quick to make accusations publically without something to back it up. It would seem unusual to me that a seller with this type of feedback would lift a photo from another site and try to sell it on eBay.

Hi David, my mistake on the last name, I was just reading a post by bill marsh a few minutes before posting, I am not saying anything for sure about this seller, I am only questioning the listing as Bill has still not taken them off gunbroker for sale, which is highly unusual, I simply wished as a fellow collector and seller to bring it to attention as it seems to be out of the ordinary. I must apoligize if this is legitamate, and I did not mean to call the sellers reputation in to question, as you said with a feedback of over 1000 it seems highly unlikely, I would like to clarify that I was just assuming that maybe the sellers id was stolen. The whole situation just seemed sketchy and again would like to apoligize if it apears that I was taking the sellers reputation into question.

Thanks for your concern CollectingNewbie, as although the feedback is high, his account could have been hijacked.

Take care guys

Jared As you dont actualy definatly know anything about it & as you cant seem to contact the person you think still owns it. Id suggest you contact the seller & ask him

One way or anther youve already scupperd his auctions, I thought thats why linking to live auctions was banned here?
