A couple of mp's for sale in Austria on the bay at the moment, one of which claims to have been bought from here, the one with the Aki-Asahi 4008. Curiously that advert has gone from here though. The other is a black paint. different user names, no selling feedback, only buying and both joined on same day. No reply when I offered to pick up in person. May be completely genuine but I get a feeling not.

Good catch! I'm pretty sure this is a scam. Alleged seller wants payment via bank transfer - looks like an attempt to figure out victim's bank account details!

Ebay scam

Ebay scam

Hi, there were some ebay scams recently concerning vintage black enamel M-Types!
All fotos were stolen from recent "westlicht" auctions and other sources. Item locations were all in Austria (Linz, Graz and Wien (Vienna)) ! No mails answered, dubious feedback record!
2 auf the auctions were ended on Ebay`s action! So never bid, if there`s no clear communication with seller!
regards Wolfhard
 
Bingo! Checked this current feedback list! No feedback as seller, but only feedback list as buyer! This list shows the same "sellers" I remember from the above mentioned auctions! So beware!
regards Wolfhard
 
The person who bought that MP from me has confirmed that it's not him. This is a total scam. I'll report it to eBay. Very well spotted Nobbylon. How does that make you feel about eBay?

Edited: it's been removed.
