Not to beat a dead horse here, but I stayed out of this because I don't know
him personally. I did, though, have a pretty long conversation with him at
Road America a couple years ago about buying a Birkin. (I'm a long-time
Lotus Seven fan.)
He seemed real straight forward in his dealings. Wasn't promoting BS like a
lot of guys in his position do. He was honest about the negatives as well
as the positives. That kind of makes it unlikely to me that he is pulling
something -- plus, come on, it is so blatantly screwed up that he couldn't
possibly intentionally be trying to screw anybody. My money says he just
goofed up, big time.

I agree with David. I have met the guy (Dennis) at DuPage swap meet, he's
also a Royal Enfield dealer and seemed like a real good guy. IMHO, no
excuse for a mislisting, but someone who sells Enfields and Birkins is
likely not the most computer savvy person, nor is he likely an evil ebayer.
The negative feedback listing - read the description. I'd have thought I
was buying a pile of crap. Maybe it turned out to be a concours car and
someone was pissed.
