Have a look at some of the gear this guy is selling. I don't know how genuine this is, but one of the guys hunting buddies must have croaked it.

A 1969 Fender Jazz Bass for $1,300??

Hmmm. Now that is interesting. In the time I typed in my initial posting, to the time I went back in, his shop has gone from 250 items to 5 items and no musical gear at all. He had dozens and dozens of guitars listed...Fenders, Gibsons.

I am stone cold sober. Honestly. Sober enough to have just been to the garden centre and spend £600 on some furniture with my good lady wife (which I had earmarked for a new bass).

This guy had some seriously good stuff listed...about a half dozen old old Jazzes, some Precisions, Les Pauls, SGs, amplifiers, acoustics. They were all shot in what looked like the same location.

It's one of them, isn't it? An eldritch, magical shop that exists for just long enough to sell a harp that plays itself, or a pipe that attracts all the rats in Hamelin.

And when you try to find it again, it's just a blank brick wall.

I hate it when that happens.

Of course, sometimes it's just on the other side of the street.

possibly send him a message to ask? possibly if he has the stuff at all it may still be for sale, just not on ebay?

The more likely explanation is that his account got hacked and someone tried to run a scam with it.

What happened to mine. And don't get me started on how useless eBay were in helping resolve matters - even triying to charge me fees! Needless to say I told them where to stuff it - and I'm no longer registered with eBay.
