Why did THIS Ames Bros Orange sell for $1500.00? It's not an Artist Print version

    I'd wager that it was a fake sale that was canceled

    That's what I was thinking as well.  I noticed that the seller had a LOOOOONG lead time (10 business days) mentioned before the item would ship, which is also strange to me.

    Sorry, I may be daft...lol...I don't get your last point. Can you explain so I know how to watch for these types of auctions. I get your point about long lead time, but the "mentioned before item would ship"....cheers

    Release EV - it's unusual for an eBay seller to have such a long lead time before the item ships.  There are constraints that eBay has for sellers to maintain a good seller standing, and a long lead time is not allowed under those requirements.   It's the seller's prerogative, if they aren't interested in maintaining that standard.

    Just seems strange that someone, who obviously sells a fair amount of stuff on eBay, would NOT adhere to those stipulations.

    Tempo - that's fair to assume.
