    This happened to me twice from the same seller and was just curious if anyone else had a similar experience.

    I was watching an auction for Alt Swerve, and I normally wait until the last couple of minutes to place my bid. Anyway... somehow I forgot to bid and when I checked to see what it went for, the auction was now for a Star Wars ROTS Figure. The picture/description/price had all changed, but the auction number was the same.

    The same thing happened again with this seller with another Swerve and again it changed to a ROTS figure.

    What the hell? Right now, I'm feeling good that I did not deal with the seller... this seems a little fishy to me.

    Anyone else have a similar experience?

    sounds like a bug he/she is exploiting, and they are changing the item to a common place figure instead of a semi-rare alternator

    I didn't think you could change the description 12 hours before an auction ended.
