Yes, that does look like an exceptionally nice machine - wish I had seen it
and bid on it! And I could have just picked it up here in Minneapolis since
he offered free local pickup (ebay 370545662693). Somehow, when someone
advertises right in the eBay ad what the shipping will cost, most buyers
just figure that into their bid limit and so it makes no sense to question
it AFTER you bid. It really makes no difference to your pocketbook to pay
little for an item plus lots for shipping, or lots for the item and little
for shipping - that used to be a way sellers lowered eBay final value fees
until eBay started charging the fees on the shipping cost too.
I just wonder about the problem since this seller had 2584 feedbacks with
100% good feedbacks over the past 12 months, until now. Looks like a good
seller, except it certainly wasn't right for him to sell it elsewhere so
quickly.
Sorry, I don't have the reproducer or the machine you are looking for.

That's immaterial because you don't have the particulars, nor have you
seen the communication.
Too bad it turned out like this, but they turn up, and I'll certainly find
one. His business practices and attitude were quite poor despite the best
efforts of both me and eBay, so I thought I'd pass the warning along. I
smelled a rat so held up payment, which was a real stroke of luck.

You won a nice original machine... original reproducer, original belt
cover (which is usually missing), original patent disc (which is often
missing and can cost $50 or more), original lid - overall nice machine -
not bad for $368 and $50 shipping - I wouldn't ship one for less than
$50, because of the inherent risk and required packing. I doubt that you
will find one in that condition for less...

Hey gang -
I'm looking for a Columbia model B "Eagle" graphophone, as well as a
Columbia reproducer that is correct for an early (plain-case) Columbia
AT.
Any leads or offers? Thanks...
I'm using the reproducer off my Q on the AT for now, but want it to have
its own.
And I won an Eagle on eBay last week, but the fraudster seller sold it
out from under me when I tried to give him some safe shipping tips and
questioned his exorbitant shipping charges. Beware seller Jason Kudrna
of Minneapolis aka eBay ID "oraetlabora" - eBay has been notified.
