Was it? Although the ebay ad has been removed, the antique shop ad says "bid on ebay" above the video.

I reported it to ebay early this morning and they quickly removed the listing for a change. Bradford antiques is a legitimate company that had their photos copied by the scammer.

The original listing indicates it was eBayed back in August 2011, and the top of the real page indicates it sold. So the (now-pulled) new eBay listing wasn't related to the original. Definitely scam.
