Yeah, probably a scam.  But he does make one good point. I try not to let dead bidders participate in my auctions either.

Dead head bidders maybe, but never dead bidders (unless it's Bobby, Phil Bill, or da Mickster ;) )

I reported this listing to eBay last night, it had been up a few hours. I had seen this same scammer a few weeks ago, I think trying to sell the same non-existant bass. Good to see the folks at eBay taking notice.
