    I don't see anything odd about the seller.

    Well. Consider these facts:

    Both Cutchy and Haggs live in Glasgow (city of)
    Haggs bids on a wide variety of stuff from Cutchy, from size 9 ladies boots to ladies clothing to baby stuff. Funny how one seller has so much stuff he needs!
    Cutchy leavs Haggs feedback but Haggs never leaves any back. Strange!

    OP is correct - the item no. shown has indeed been sold before.

    It gets better. Cutchy also bid on two of Haggs's items on 13th July.
