Gut feeling is that gazebomans account will have been hacked. Other auctions from this user are copied from ebay auctions of the genuine article.

Guy has good feedback, listing has already been pulled down though so maybe his account was hacked? Seems to be a bit of that happening as of late.

I smashed buy now tbh, didnt see this thread until way later. I encourage people to hit buy now on these items that are most likely scams then offer cash and pickup only, if its legit you get a bargain, if its fake (99.9999999999999% likely) then you have wasted the scammers time.

Reading that prompted me to update my password which was far from complex.

(I don't know the ins and outs of trademe system sorry)

No, seller takes the hit on their TM account. which if its a scam trademe will return no problem.

Easiest way is to right click on the images in the auction and "search image with google". Most scammers never have the actual item, so search the internet for images to put in the TradeMe auction.
Google search should return no matches for a genuine auction, or one or more from fake's. You can click on the images returned by google to see where the images came from - most of the time Ebay auctions.
