Strange things happening on eBay.

 

Three different ads, three different sellers, three different presentations, three different prices...

 

... Yet it is exactly the same item: a vintage Monogram Cobra/Lola dual body kit.

Also note the unorthodox body placements: normally in these kits the blue Cobra body is placed to the left, nose down, and the green Lola to the right, nose down.

Identical pics?... I'd say only one true seller using three different IDs...

Same kit, different sellers, none of which actually possesses the item. The actual kit is owned by a fourth party. I've seen the same tactic used with guitars from Japan.

So then are all these listings simply a fraud? Or are the other listings there to make the lowest priced one look reasonable?
