Fee circumvention?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-18K-GOLD-S...lenotsupported

Listing says:
CALL J**** 832/xxx/xxxx FOR INFO. MUST TALK TO PERSON BUYING THE WATCH.

Not sure if there's any wrongdoing here, thought I'd check with the experts! The watch is definitely good though.

Definitely sounds like an invite!

With a watch like this, the seller could lose upwards of $800 in related fees!

Hey - I got a similar Serti listed and $800 is a fair price to pay for the WHOLE WORLD to see it, IMO. Pay the piper!

I don't know... over 700 feedbacks.... maybe he just wants to make sure the winning bidder is an actual living person and not a scammer.... If I was selling a watch for that much money, I'd want to talk to the person as well.

Just my .02

Scammers ARE living people, just scummy ones. Just because you can make a phone contact with someone does not prevent you from getting f****d on a deal - and this is from personal experience.

He must be honest since he doesn't even know how to spell scam.

I did not see anything that would cause my wife's panties to bunch up. Not even I can do that anymore in my advanced age.

Your language is a bit OT today Greg.

IMO you could get your point across without it.
