I knew someone who had a spot in an antique mall and noticed one of her items for sale on ebay. The picture was taken in her space. After some research and inquiries at the mall they found out that a guy would come in with his digital camera, take pictures of items, list them on ebay at a higher price and if they sold he would buy the item at the antique mall, if not, no loss, he just wouldn't buy the item. Interesting scam, no stock needed, could be the same thing happening here? They could even order the lamp and have it shipped directly to the buyer. Bad mojo.
