At first glance this looked like it was probably a scam, but looking again maybe it's just an unsubtle attempt to sell off eBay?

1 hour left.

Cheers,

A 24 hour listing for such an item? Seller has most feedback as a buyer. Haven't I seen this class M with the hunting horn before? Feels like a scam, but the price is low enough that someone in the UK could take a gamble...

This machine was originally listed on eBay Italy and sold for $14,710. This seller has no selling history with antiques, let alone phonographs. Same photo was used as well. I smell scam.
