If someone is interested... a nice example of huge colonial big womb 101 in teak. It looks impressive!

Clicking on "Translate this page" I still got the item description in German.

Yep, I too have found that "translate this page" always does that to just the top part of the listing, where the picture and the postal details etc. appear. Very frustrating!!

Not only is the item description in German, the bidding history and postage etc details are in Spanish!
In addition all the bidders are "I.D.Protected".
To me the listing looks cobbled together, and the alarm bells are starting to ring.

I've just clicked on the link again, and everything, description, postage details etc. are all in English! What's going on?

I would love to have one of these teak models. A few years ago I thought to myself that I should build a teak "102" but then I priced out the lumber and a donor machine for the rest of the parts. It wasn't going to be cheap!

eBay's crack (pipe) programmers at work.

Do you mean that this is a fake auction or some kind of tricky business?

The seller is well known in german phono circles.

it's a cracking machine and so cheap
