Well, boys, here is another one: gorgeous Russian "Klych", sold for peanuts.

And, surprise, surprise, it was sleeping all these years in Kiev, Ukraine.
Who is willing to bet a dollar that the lucky buyer will actually get it?
Any takers?

But what is interesting is the feedback record: very respectable, but quiet since 2002. The comments of the seller in the feedback section were in colloquial English. In contrast, description of the "sabre" is stilted and illiterate. In the past, the seller sold a lot of furniture, this time it is only swords. A question: is it possible for a faker to kidnap a dormant e-bay account ?
