It's neither. Those people aren't the owners of the Freeman PC Museum
and are attempting to perpetrate fraud, which is why Sellam was asking,
"Why are people doing this?"
Then I'd expect them to be NARU, instead of having voluntarily canceled
their
own auction.
(NARU: "not a registered user", after eBay boots them for fraud.)
I'd agree that pretending to be the Freeman PC Museum, putting up an
auction,
then canceling it, is really dumb. (All the "asking for trouble", with none
of the possible upside.)
