Can anybody figure out what is happening here? The same seller appears to have listed the same TV 3 times and sold it once. Seller has 100% good rating on the 'Bay.

Just a guess...guy sold it once, buyer wanted to just buy parts, seller didn't want to dismantle it (see the disclaimer in one of the auctions) so it got relisted...he accidently relisted it twice?

It just seems strange that one of the "duplicate" listings was posted nearly 11 hours before the other, and before the first auction ended. :scratch2:

It's another scam. People are hard up for money, expect to see lots of this crap...

2 different item numbers, one has a buy it now and a starting bid. The other just has a starting bid. Possibly some ebay auction store where one employee listed it without knowledge of another. Or the seller has a bad memory. That is the positive side of me. The negative side agrees with Zenith1fan. If something looks funny to me on an ebay auction, I just go on looking.

That too is strange... earlier BOTH listings had a BIN, one for 59.99 and the other for 30.00 IIRC. I guess I should have bought it while the cheap BIN and shipping were in effect, but I am leery ! I would like to have the set, as it is similar to a 12" round tube set that I have, but with what appears to be a 14" square corner/flat-sided tube (14CP4?).

I won that set, but, they refused to dismantle it for any cost to ship it.
It's bakelite, and, in one piece, likely to break.
Now, it appears they are playing games with it.
