Bill, this is your standard, hijacked account auction. It is very common for
high priced items (Leica in particular). The tell-tale sign (always) is the
"don't bid, contact me at my GMAIL account" message. Usually, if you look at
the other items, there will be hundreds (sometimes thousands) of sometimes
unrelated items, all with a very low price, but always with a buy it now,
outside of normal channels. The other clue (as in this case) is the
miscategorized item (note that it is under Music/CDs).
I just use the fraud reporting link to report it and it is usually gone within
a few hours.
