So many R13s on eBay with the seller in Japan

Author: Steve0001

Does anyone have any idea why there are so many R13s located in Japan that are for sale on eBay? EBay shows 171 listings for "R13 clarinet" and of those 171 listings, 59 are for R13s located in Japan. That's 34.5%! - more than a third! There is at least one that is listed several times (judging from identical photos) for similar but not identical prices (not sure that's allowed). Those R13s I have looked at appear authentic (they are old, showing wear and corrosion - something the counterfeits from China never have). I am wondering if some of the sellers are scammers posting photos of authentic instruments, but not actually having possession and having no intention of sending the instrument to any buyers.
