Thought this seemed a bit of a bargain. The seller also has another stingray and a jazz for sale. 

As per his description I messaged with an enquiry and was told it had sold. 
it’s still listed so not sure what the point is here. I guess it’s some sort of scam but wonder how it works.

That is odd...

"If your interested in buying message me first before payment. This is for reasons I can't explain here, but I can separately to you (if your interested to know). "

Suggests he's trying to dodge ebay fees maybe?

If it is a scam, wouldn't he have tried to get some money out of you?

It does seem odd that you was told that it was sold and it’s still listed, all his ads read the same

Perhaps he's trying to sell to someone he already knows, but it has to look like a random punter?

Which probably means he's not really selling.
