For the Man who Has Everything.

Protecting your expensive watch, and flaunting your riches
Blink Blink.
His replies on Ebay, one of funniest thing I have read in a long time.He must be a chip of the old block.

I couldn't resist contacting this seller as follows -
"Hi - I am in UK and was thinking of putting in a bid of a couple of dollars for this amazing watch. On reflection I have decided not to do this, because I realise it would leave you out of pocket if I won the watch, and you had to ship it to UK at no cost to me.

I hope you understand why I will not be bidding for this interesting watch, but I do so only out of concern for your you and your pocket."

Here is his wonderful reply (sorry about caps - that is how he sent it!) -
"DEAR POTENTIAL OVERSEAS BIDDER....
I CAN TELL THAT YOU ARE A SAVVY BUSINESS MAN AND THIS MUST BE SOME SORT OF CLEVER RUSE TO GET A BIT CLOSER TO THIS FINE MILITARY TIMEPIECE...I HAVE DONE INTENSIVE RESEARCH REGARDING BIDDING PATTERNS PERTAINING TO MILITARY WATCHES ON EBAY..MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT INTENSE BIDDING WARS ERUPT IN THE FINAL MINUTES OF MILITARY WATCH AUCTIONS.....GO AHEAD AND PLACE YOUR (RATHER CONSERVATIVE) BID OF A COUPLE OF QUID....YOU WILL SEE THAT IT WILL NOT STAND FOR LONG....REMEMBER THE EBAY BATTLE CRY "BID NOW,BID OFTEN AND MAY THE BEST PERSON WIN"...VIVA LE MONDE!!!!!!!......GOOD LUCK SIR....DID I MENTION THAT THE FREE OVERSEAS SHIPPING IS BY FIRST CLASS AIR LETTER POST?..WELL IT IS....."
