No feedback for this seller. I am going to say it is a rookie mistake.

Re: Why post the same Ruana knife twice on ebay?
I have seen this done mistakenly a good number of times. As usual I contacted the seller to let them know it is posted twice. Most times it is a mistake and the seller will thank me for letting them know. This is what I would want to happen if it was done by me as it could lead big problems. I will see if there is a response.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

The $1800 (reserve not met) listing ends one hour before the listing with no reserve. Is the seller hoping that someone will bid for the $1800 listing and then he will tell the winner of the other listing that 'knife is no longer available" ?
The listings are not identical so he most know that he posted them both.

Perhaps the brand new seller isn't aware he can make 1 listing with both bidding and "Buy It Now" in the same listing?

If as a seller you try to put up two listings where every word is identical, Ebay has automatic algorithms that will not allow it.

Re: Why post the same Ruana knife twice on ebay?
Some people have issues with ebay making duplicate listings. I sell on etsy as well. After I sell an item they duplicate it, relist it, and it sells again. I've had to cancel many orders recently and thinking of closing up shop on etsy. Could possibly be a technical glich.
