Darren,
It looks legit to me. Being that the guy is from Lloydminster, which is
just around the corner from the strewn field, he could have very easily
acquired it.
And is is not illegal unless he tries to sell it out side of Canada
without an export permit. That said, he does state that he will ship to
the US and the UK and I doubt that he has an export permit in hand.
Cheers!

Is it bogus? Is it Buzzard Coulee?
As best as I can tweak the horrible photo, it does look like a meteorite-- there
are bright spots that look like blebs of metal, plus a couple of larger yellow
spots that could be large melted chondrules exposed through the fusion crust.
I'm also seeing in the upper-right something that COULD be flow lines, but then
again coud be nothing at all. Might be a bit weathered, but again, it is a
terrible photo. But it is a zero-feedback seller and they say it is "estimated
to be 4 trillion years old", so I wouldn't trust trying to buy from them even if
they dropped 2 zeroes off that figure.
Anyone want to wager how long it will be before eBay pulls this
auction?
Slightly after Sheol has a snowstorm. Ebay doesn't give one of these:
