REALLY ... and two dudes bidding for it. 2325 US$ as of now.
www.ebay.com/itm/Butterfly-Ornithoptera-alexandrae-male-A2-/331522640527?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d304a0a8f

But the seller [11amay (115)] is honest regarding the quality of the specimen which is really A2.
I have seen people selling Ornithoptera specimens of such quality as:
"A1- (repaired) - VERY HARD TO GET NOW"

What will be the final price???

Yes it is a scam for the one located in "Russia"
Once contacted, the seller replied to me within an hour saying specimens were already packed and that pictures could not be taken.
Who is willing to spend 1000s $ without pictures or preview of the purchase???

For the one in "China" it may have been a pre-CITES purchase. Still, the seller needs to provide a permit (different than CITES, since O. alexandrae cant be sold nor purchased) to state that the specimen was "pre-CITES" and got obtained legally during this "pre-CITES' period.
Seller stated that permits could not be provided. Making purchase without this paper work is not recommended.
