The ebay pics have a DH Gate watermark, so either "Crazy Guitar World" is affiliated with them, or someone stole the pics that DH Gate stole.

Don't be crazy, don't shop there!

Ah - works now!

So, the Chinese seller on eBay is using pics of a real Ric.

Of course, you wouldn't get one of those in return for your money.

I'd report it to eBay, but their "AI" would probably say nothing wrong.

I looked into it and there are other sellers over there with the same ads and pictures, there's even a very real stolen Stingray 5 pic (logo and all) and more. It's a deep scam that looks tightly sewn up. 

I guess it's just buyer beware at the end of the day.

It's the old "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is". That's why it's always best to buy from forums or from actual shops. But their 'market' is people who don't know what they are looking at, I suppose.
