They all appear to have the same serial number in the description, including the one that just ended. Something fishy there.

Re: all of these Miraphone 191 auctions...
They're part of a bigger scam that tells they bidder that the horn is ONLY available Buy It Now (any bids will be cancelled), for a larger but still ridiculously cheap sum payable only to a third-party eMail address... eBay gets flooded with these every weekend by hackers who have cracked a legitimate vendor's password and are looking to make a quick and easy buck. Always the same horns, always short time auctions.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I always report these when I see them. On the drop-down menus, choose "Listing Practices", "Avoiding eBay Fees", "Contact Info in Listing". The fact that the contact info is on a second page doesn't matter.

Re: all of these Miraphone 191 auctions...
My guess is that eBay still doesn't require sellers to use strong passwords. So, hacking them might be pretty easy. Just a guess.
Of course, I do remember eBay asking EVERY account holder to choose a new password a few years ago because someone had hacked them ALL! What a miserable company.
