Yachtmaster... ebay seller Rick$amy great feedback... but too good to be true?
Hello everyone! First off, I want to thank you for your input. Second, this is not my listing but I did win the auction. What do you guys think? Sounds too good to be true? I know it does not come with the paperwork but I'm willing to over look it for the price. The only concern I have is with the last picture. It seems very worn in and there is a black 'mark' near the buckle. I've asked him about it and he said it is just a bad picture.... but I don't know.
I did call him and pretended to be a prospective buyer of the watch. He was very nice and informative ( a little too much overshare if you ask me but some of it was interesting). He said he had already sold the watch to someone (which was me but he didn't know it was me... sneaky I know). He said he sold it for 3850 (150 more than what I offered and what he had accepted - sneaky on his end). And if he doesn't receive payment by Monday he would sell it to me for same price - 3850. I asked about the history of the watch. He said there was only one owner and she had upgraded to a gold presidential but she couldn't find the box or the paper work. I asked him on the phone regarding the picture with the black mark and he said it was the lighting and bad picture. He said the watch has been polished. Thoughts and honest opinion please....something too good to be true? http://www.ebay.com/itm/180988168490...490%26_rdc%3D1 |

My 2 cents, based on your story, both of you have already been disingenuous.

Great reputable seller on EBay. Rick runs a large shop in Houston and knows what he is doing. Buy with confidence.

The link's been removed. Make you wonder why. Even if the seller cancelled the listing, the item would still be there for all to see.

I'm not sure I would have described this watch as "fabulous" and in "lightly worn" condition. He says it's been polished. I'm not sure if he means before or after his pictures because the pictures depict a watch that has been well worn.
I know Rick and have spoken to him in the past and purchased a watch from him some time ago. He was very knowledgeable and the watch I purchased was fine. |
