Scam.

That is a "Drew Colome" photo, mostly likely stolen off his web site or this web site.

The "$9500" text is also an image, possibly to bypass some sort of eBay scam checker?

I suspected that, reported them to ebay as a scam listing.

Kind of funny that they think they can fool people.

They do fool people. That's why scamming is so profitable.

The eBay account may be legit, but could have been hijacked by someone else to post the bogus listing. It happens fairly often.

Not sure about cashiers checks, but postal money orders are cashed by whoever shows up with them.

it really is a shame there is no sarcasm font
cashiers checks and money orders have no real recourse for fraud
also this could just be a legit sales tactic to give people the idea it could be had cheap and get wrapped up in bidding
for the shown knowledge of the seller if it is legit you would imagine there would be more pictures

My post office checks your id and writes your driver's license on the money order. Well, they did until they started recognizing me.
