Ebay sale, something isn't right about this ????
***Ebay expert required ***
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123
This was a sale that ended in December.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nest-tables-so...item3f06a42c61
This is a current ebay sale.
In the original sale the seller had about 5 pieces of furniture for sale, all listed individually. Someone bought them all as a job lot and they were withdrawn ( i know this as i rang the original seller). Now 2 months later they are for sale again, different seller but the pictures, and more unusually the advert text is virtually identical.
That is what makes me wonder, how come the style of the text is identical. Can anyone come up with a plausible explanation. I contacted the new seller asking if i could view the furniture, "sorry we are on holiday".

Could it not either be:
1) Person who bought them now doesn't want them and is using the orginal pics/text to save them a job.
2) Happens to be someone with identical furniture and again is using the pics?
I know I've used someone else pics for selling things in the past.

Maybe just someone lazy, copied and pasted the info off another ad to save some time.
I have copied pictures in the past when I have bought stuff on e bay to sell on.
