Jacking the price up is one thing but that is over the top.

If I clicked buy one( says one in stock) I bet they would find one.

It seems I haven’t explained it to you well enough so let this picture tell the story.

I get it. I was just looking for a picture of the salience from the rear as I wanted to switch from mm to mc without removing from my cabinet and came across this. Joke isn't it. I found the picture I was looking for

Cheers

What you should do is recap it with some Jantzen caps and enjoy. Easy job too!

Looks like an Australian plug, but didn't think that Oyaide made a local plug? Also, no insulation for the prescribed length of the pins.

If you want to save a little on the price I think this is the same one

Yes,  it’s an Australian plug, but most certainly a fake Oyaide.

This really annoys me. Not only ripping people off but potentially putting them in real danger.

I emailed the seller this morning but no response at all and listing remains. Just reported it to ebay to see if they do anything.

Well spotted - certainly looks like it is.
