It went for £1640.71.

 

A zero-feeback seller, selling a CT at a low auction start should be enough to raise the red flags.

 

Japan Holic is selling another CT at £12, 660; another shop - with high feedback numbers -  is selling the same model for the same price. 

 

This is one reason I refuse to buy from Japan over ebay, for I seriously doubt that some of these shops even have the guitar/bass they're advertising.

As explained elsewhere @NikNik, in Japan, the item is for sale on commission, but any shop accepted in the "system" can propose it at whatever price they want as long as they pay the asking price for the sale. 😉

Sorry, I missed the 'elsewhere'........
