This one is a 760J (so technically, I think that makes it an "arch-top", not an acoustic) located in Australia:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=896648916
The ad is suspect due to (1) the seller having zero feedback, (2) the picture of the guitar being "canned", i.e. lifted from some website and not a pic of the actual guitar being sold. I have already sent this question to the seller:
If you could, please provide a real (i.e., not a 'canned' picture from some website) picture of the actual guitar for sale. Thanks!
We'll see whether the seller responds; I would expect a legitimate seller to do so!

Yep, it certainly has. But interestingly, the seller just e-mailed me this message:

No price is mentioned! Also, I have >150 positive feedbacks on eBay, the seller has ZERO feedbacks, and the seller is worried about MY mode of payment? Naturally, the means of payment is by a non-secure (untraceable) means - perfect for the scam artists. I must admit that these clowns have a lot of nerve/gall/whatever!!!
I may reply to the seller, and if I do, I'll post that here, too.

I responded to the seller:
Even without negotiating a price, I'll pass on this, mainly because the form of payment is not acceptable due to lack of traceability - keep in mind that it is I who has >150 positive feedbacks and you who has zero, so the security issue is in my favor in this instance.
Best regards,
