TD-20 on ebay

If you search on ebay, you'll see that after finbding some TD-20's, some are very, very cheap, but not buy it nows. Then reading further, It will say something like "Buy Noww for $800"(or $1000). In my case, I'm moving and upgrading, but I don't think they are worth $5000. I was wondering if all of theseare a scam. Most of them say location US, but the sellers are from the UK. I was just wondering if in the UK you can get the TD20's for a cheap price, or am I abbout to get screwed. Here's an example:

Oh Yeah, every single one is put up for the same starting price for a start time of 24 hours, and when I watch one to bid cheap in the morning, it is gone, but should still be going. If th link above doesn't work, it probably was taken off.
Yes i,ve noticed this too,it does give an alternate email address of seller for interested buyer.Many items listed for 24hr at very low non reserve prices.Can,t see why seller lists many expensive items yet doesn,y seem keen to stick around on ebay with them.One can only check sellers seller feedback to check just how dodgy it might be as it does seem dodgy if the seller is encouraging trading these items via a personal email address and not fully through Ebay buyer route....I just happened to be checking out drum sets and came across what you talk about,certainly looks dodgy.
Absolute Scams! I've emailed some of these. If you get a response is poorly written, There English is worse than Mine! It will usually say to email them first and there payment options are suspicious as well. I just got ripped of on a SM57, luckily that was cheap. From what I've noticed is that any highly desirable item that is really cheap is a scam. They have picked up on what people want and are using those items. Same thing on craigslist.com Beware
