Just so you guys are aware, I often list same materials on two or more sites simultaneously. But they are duplicates, not the identical specimen. While that wasn't the case here, please verify the stituation before calling in the cops, OK?

Obviously, if the item is new in the box then the picture is representative of that item. The buyer/bidder would expect to get a new in the box gun as was listed.
If, however, the item is used [as was the case here], and the picture shows scratches and other identifying features [such as the hogue grips], AND the picture is displayed to give a fair and accurate representation of the specific item for bid, and such scratches and other detractors lower the price of that item from that of a new item, then it would seem to me that they seller is selling a one of a kind item and should only be listed on one site.
Another case I'll bring up happened recently. I was looking at a used Winchester Model 100, complete with a certain style sling and certain wear marks on the stock, on one site. At the same time, the same seller had the same item listed on another site, complete with the same sling and wear marks on the stock. That's a duplication of the same item and is plain wrong.
I'll only call in the cops once the Sgt. knows what's going on.0 -
This happened to me I saw same gun on 2 sites even down to same serial
number ask the seller after I had bid on 1 and got no answer so I backed
out on bid all it got me was a bad feedback but better safe than sorry

I sent this guy an e-mail asking him how can you have the same gun on two different auctions at the same time ?????????
He sent me his answer which was
"It's easy you list it in one place and then list it in another.If it doesn't sell at one then maybe it will at the other.Thank You for your concern"
I would say that's a pretty lousy answer.

What bothers me most is that the gun is STILL listed on both sites. 0
