I bought from a seller with a similar feedback rating and I regretted it. Fortunately they weren't dishonest, just incompetent and things eventually worked out over a month later.
Just because I've bid in a couple of Christie's auctions I received postcards asking if I had anything to auction myself. They seemed to be a bit hungry for business. I doubt that they would evaluate an item on ebay, but he might have approached them before listing it.
For an item like this the feedback rating is a definite turnoff.
