Something's fishy about it.

At first glance it seems like it may be legit. But I looked at his other auctions and he's selling about a dozen Taylormade drivers, though none of his 700+ feedbacks seem to have anything to do with golf equipment. All his acutions finish minutes apart.

Then I looked closer at these other auctions and noticed that all the pictures seem to have different backgrounds. If he really took all the pics and he really has all these clubs than why would each one that didn't use a stock website photo have a unique background, e.g. tiled floor, carpeted floor, wood floor. If I was selling a bunch of clubs, which I have in the past, I would take all the pictures at once, at the same place. I wouldn't prance around the house.

My gut feeling is that this is a hijacked account and someone just gathered a bunch of different pictures from other eBay auctions and is pulling a scam. I would avoid.

I am gonna void, yeah I saw that too and wondered, someone already grabbed his 425 tour for 178 bucks

I'm the 425 buyer, I'm waiting on a response from him.

The only reason I bid is because he has some detailed descriptions of the other tour clubs. So I know he is on one of the boards everyone visits.

Only 3 clubs were tour issued.

I'll let you know

Thanks

That is a scam they copied one of my listings. Had the picture of my club in my back yard and my description. I love Ebay but they have a real problem with this person. There are a lot of their listing on Ebay. I need to buy a new driver but leary to purchase anything. I have looked at some of their listings and later Ebay takes the off and puts up a warning.
