That's just special.
The listing is made up just like all the Ukrainian Franken watches, where explaining the history of the brand and details on taking care of your new "vintage" timepiece seem more important than describing the actual watch, so it was hardly surprising to see it's located in the Ukraine. With a few more reports, hopefully it'll stay there. |

Those auctions of his are for that select group of morons bidding madly on them.
Let them enjoy their unique yet all those brands look alike special edition watches. God made these people who buy this crap for a reason, sort of like gnats were made for some unknown reason. |

I think all of these "bids" are a part of this scam. I doubt that any of these bids are legit, but then again, nothing would surprise me.

I've been watching these Ukrainian frankenwatch makers for several years, the auctions are always private so the casual observer can't search for previous sales or identify shill bidding.
There's a way around it though, just add them to your watch list. It takes time, but a pattern emerges. You'd also be amazed how often the exact same "rare" watches are sold (in fact, you probably wouldn't). I suspect the shill bidders buy their own watches back a lot of the time, but when one does go to a victim they more than recoup the lost ebay fees. |
