This is a shame...

Someone is really going to get screwed
Item number: 250200040638

I reported this. Obviously to no avail

The "I got it from someone else" lie is becoming more popular.

I actually email this guy, but he wouldn't give any information. He added that no pickup is allowed to follow Ebay policy. It's not right for me, for sure. ~Hien

I agree with you both. Those hang tags are the cheesiest I ever saw. Plus as a Z serial, it should have the fat hands. The skinny minute hand comes up short and has a square tip. I just cant beleive that someone has bid 8 grand for this thing

The guy is not that smart, he post a drawing of the real clasp.
Then he post a pic of the clasp open where you can
see a Seiko clasp is more well made.

The good thing is he don´t shows stolen pics of the real deal.

The shame of it is that people have come to trust e-bay sellers - and that e-bay won't do anything about this is appalling. I feel sorry for the guy who spends his hard-earned dough on this piece of cr@p. Allan, you're right to call this what it is - a shame.

Reported.

I wonder how many reports Ebay require to get the point and pull the auction?

When I was looking to buy my GMT every other bidder was a letter and ** or something like that (p***T). That made me worry that they were bumping up their own bids.

That is something new Ebay does to "protect" the bidders identity. Not sure it does anything more than allow shill bidding however.

I find it weird I was looking a lot of items from watches to scanners....I only found that with the high end watches. Many of the same ID's were bidding on many different watches!
