This same seller is offering a Campagnolo Record as well.

The interesting part is that the sum of the "refunds" does not equal the opening bid for the whole groupo. I suspect that this is a seller that used to have an ID associated with the store name cyclesportsusa, and had to change it for reasons of dubious business practices. Zika
