First house I bought was the one in which the owner committed suicide. I got a deal on that. I still own that house and it has tripled in value.

I turn bad mojos to good ones.
This is the attitude.

That's the most outrageous thing I have read here. I would expect it from the OP actually.

High priestess hex removal is only $279 online...
Much cheaper than the overhaul it would need.

So this negative mojo/vibe only applies to ostentatious jewelry with a dark historical past?

The watch is cursed! Stay away from it! If you see him again, please give him my contact info!

There is no such thing as "curse". Also, I wouldn't trust a stranger and try to buy his watch as well. You've made the right moves buddy cheers.
