What do you think??

Smells fishy to me

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-MENS-18K-...QQcmdZViewItem

I'm not expert on rolex watches, but this one just looks strange, OP got only 2 feedback and low starting price for 18K Daytona?!

The seller has two previous sales of high end diamonds from $4,000 - $6,000 worth. The crazy thing is the buyers are also new members with one to two feedback a piece. This whole thing reeks of a scam. I reported it.

Best is to ask the seller to post pictures of the piece set to particular time to prove that he's got the watch. The pictures as shown look fine to me, but they look too "catalogish".

I don't understand how this guy has "Up to $20,000 protection if using PayPal" with only 2 feedback. The most PayPal protection I see is $2k and that's with over 98% positive feedback. Anyone know the answer to this?
