A good way to see if the auction is for rael is to send a message to the seller by clicking on the "Ask seller a question" link. Ask them if the auction is for real or whatever you want, and shortly afterward - if it's indeed a scam - you will receive an "Alert" e-mail from eBay saying something like "you have tried to contact a member outside of eBay" or something like that. It takes a little time and effort, but it's worth it if you want to see if the item's for real or not, because once in a while it will be. That's how I got my used but mint Titanium Pewter/Titanium Iridium Square Wire 2.0 SH's for $66.75 (retail: $255).
