This guy has a Conn2J up for sale using the same picture as another recent seller and using much the same description and insisting on personal contact.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Conn-2J-CC-tuba_W0Q ... t_1167wt_0" target="_blank

He also has a Wilson 2900 listing, again using a description generic to another prominent seller and demanding personal email instead of bidding.

Yeah, I sent ebay a "report" as it would appear that including your email with a buy it now price that isn't listed officially is a listing violation....and if ebay's going to miss out on getting their money they are quicker to respond than if you just tell them the listing is a fraud.....

I would also wonder if with Xmas and TubaXmas coming up soon the level of frauds might not increase
