On Ebay right now the same bike is listed twice, closing at two different times. The listing numbers are 270113279452 and 270113279383 both for the same 2006 Orbea Orca. I even think this bike was listed before and closed yesterday, what gives is this for real also the BIN price looks way to low.

Every red flag in the book it looks like. I certainly wouldn't advise bidding, and probably best to make a report with eBay.

I am not bidding, I just do not want to see anybody get taken. I also do not want to screw up a real sale, also whats up with that crazy Email thing on it.

Sorry, I had assumed you were asking a question or for feedback. If this is just a scam alert, there's a great forum for that.

If there is an e-mail address within the ad, I always report it to e-bay and the ad is usually gone in a little while. I have seen the same Colnago listed 8 times in a row and what is really sad is that people bid on it. Just report it to e-bay. There is a link at the bottom of the ad that I think is called "Report this Item." Go through the list for reasons to report it. Me, I usually use the "circumvention of ebay fees" in these cases and then select "Use of an e-mail address within the ad" option. If more and more people report these things, there will be less and less scammers. I follow the Colnago almost every day and haven't seen any scams lately. When I initially started following them, the scams were rampant.
