I have an Eharp up for auction on ebay. Sombody from China has one listed too. It looks like they came into my apartment to photograph theirs, and took the words right out of my mouth for their description. What are the odds...... must have been while I was sleeping.....

Stephen, I found your auction - very nice guitar!
But I can't locate the Chinese imitator - do you have the link?

Stephen. Small world eh!
This is just one of my lurking and learning spots.
These scams always seem to involve desirable collectables and the scammers usually have zero feed-back.
Another ploy used is to make sure that the ending of their listing is a day or so ahead of the genuine article. Presumably this is to tempt unwary bidders to their doom.
Rick, the phony Eharp is item #150053357831 unless it's been pulled by eBay.
