3 zero feedback bidders last week listed rolexes with no photos, how can we tell if it fake for sure is the question, they do not get great prices, but still 800 dollars or so for a fake, and more importantly i am sure people are getting scammed and this seems to be on the increase. How can we report something definetively that we cannot see to appraise, I have reported to ebay my views, if you wish report also the link is below.

gotta start somewhere!
hopefully no one will bid and his "number" will stay zero!

Yeah it is happening with all sorts of high end watches. Strange I must say

Honestly, I do not know how anyone in their right mind would bid on something they cannot see, regardless of the price. No idea how they can sell something blind like that.

Unfortunately, the world is full of very naive and gullible people

Hey Cary, yep you're right. I know for me that for these asking prices I definitely need to see the item before giving out my money

Even better - used a Mobile to do it

very unfortunate, but there is a sucker born every minute.

Someone has bid $2k ... still, it is 'scratch resistant'...

Maybe money laundering? Only the bare essentials were filled in, nothing more than a box ticking exercise. And no description. Clearly someone who doesn't need to care about listing quality etc, because it's just a means to (dodgy) end.

Or some kid got hold of Dad's Mobile

Doesn't it seem too stupid to be a scam or other illegal activity?
