EBAY relistings?

Some cues just keep on showing up EBay. I am still trying to understand how Ebay works and relistings seem suspicious or am I just being overcautious?..Here is an example. I swear this cue has been listed at least 4 times. Any thoughts on whats really going on with these?

It's is not a relisting, it's a new auction. They are retailers and have more then one of the same cue. If you look at their feedback's you will see they have sold and delivered that same model cue in the past.

This seller is Bill Grassley - a class act all the way. His web site is http://www.cornerstonecustomcues.com/.

Those old/new McDermotts are pretty neat.

There are people that do pull their auctions before the sale if the dont get their price... That way they don't scare people off with a reserve and such... and then relist, ebay lets people get away with this more than they should.

Also some people "borrow" images and put together fraudulent listings... So it may seem to be the same cue, but really it is pure fraud.

These are very shady practices, you picked an example in which that was not the case, but it does happen...
