Interesting approach - Watches for sale (uncle passed away)
I wonder if Lady Casper will allow this
blacken122( 28) Was given this, from my uncle that just passed away last month. It was in his will that he gave this watches and the box to me. But i actually wanted his home entertainment system, with arcam gear and bmw nautilus speakers. Cos that is wat im interested in n wat i know. but i dont know anything about watches. Im wearing a nike watch. So these watches i just dont know the value nor the age. So im leaving it to the eyes of the people that know watches. the box is locked, but he, my uncle didnt give me the key. No one knows where the key is at. so i have no idea and therefore wont break the glass or get a lock smith to open the box, cos the box is nice and also its only watches. and it looks old fashion to me. I like digital watches. so pls let me know what u think of these watches. I dont care about wat they worth, maybe worth a lot cos my uncle was a filthy well off guy, and single. i also wanted his porsche. But no luck. its all in his will. So just bid. I dont care how much its gonna be. I asked my friends but none of my friends know anything about watches here in New Zealand. They just ask me to try it on ebay. so here it is. the only camera i have is my nokia n95 with 5mp. so i hope the quality is good enough. I will try answer question as much as i can, but technical stuff about the watches...the answer is, i have no idea. Sorry. also the winner of the auction, pls tell me about the shipping preference as i dont know much about shipping overseas with the whole box of watches. Just let me know and tell me wat to do. Shipping on the auction is not accurate as this is the 1st time i advertise on ebay, so i just insert anything so that i can have this auction up. Happy Bidding. http://cgi.ebay.com/Watches-tag-Heue...ayphotohosting |

there's those magic words in the listing "i dont know anything".
Do we call this a collective scam? I would also sound a little more appreciative if my late Uncle gave me a box like that with those timepieces (if they were real) , I would be more than over the moon!!! Back to the job at hand, Wouldn't these watches have evaluations as part of the will?? where are the original boxes and paperwork? No mention of models not even a real description of anything there.

This story isn't even plausible as the kid cannot even spell to have had such an affluent uncle. Yup; another dead uncle story. LOL These watches would be worth a fortune if they were real and in his possession. If he did get these watches in a will, don't you think he would want to know the value of them so he could buy the Porsche that his uncle did not give him? This story is a scam and a half. He would have over $100,000 worth of watches if they were real and in his possession. I suspect that he took a picture off of the internet and made up this whole story as, he cannot spell, and is probably too dumb to get a real job.
