1909-S VDB Auction on ebay - Suspicious? UPDATE!

There was a thread earlier on this guy & I decided to check up a little more on him.
You remember the guy using a Russian host for pictures but claiming to be here in America.

He's selling the same coins twice.
2 auctions ended on the same day 12-14-04 @ 07:30:00 PST
Both auctions are relisted the next day 12-15-04 @ 16:13:28 PST

1909-S VDB Sold $2,951.00
1909-S VDB Relisted

1880 Trade $ Sold $855.99
1880 Trade $ Relisted

Should eBay be notified?

    No question now that it's a scam - not that there was any question in the first place.

    I agree with Russ. Russ shouldn't the Lincoln cent have gone for more at that grade? I thought they were a lot more than that.

    or he is supposedly in Ill. The phone number listed doesn't have enough numbers but if you add a zero then a one then a two, etc, that's Lykens, PA - NOT Ill He also took Paypal in his other auctions but not on this one.

    Just checked mapquest - the address appears to be a real one

    Marengo IL has an 815 area code so that doesn't look right here.
