There's a new Bronica RF up for auction at eBay. It's auction number 290002693585 (you can put that number into their search query).
It's suspicious. First, it's a one-day auction. There's very little incentive for a seller to list for a one-day auction unless the item is a very common, commodity type item and there are lots of them for sale at any given time.
More suspicious is the flashing and moving text instructing potential buyers to mail any questions directly to a yahoo email account. It cautions against using the ebay "ask seller a question" method of communication with a very weak excuse. This, coupled with the short fuse on the auction, makes it look like a hijacked eBay account and a scam in the making.
One further observation... the grammar and spelling in the note requesting private email only doesn't come close to matching the grammar and spelling in the item description.
If anyone chooses to bid on this auction, DON"T SEND ANY MONEY UNTIL YOU ARE EXTREMELY CONFIDENT THE SELLER IS AUTHENTIC.
