Hmm. Good question. The watch looks OK, but seriously 9.99 starting bid? The seller has 100% feedback?

The amount of text isn't a concern to me at all. The seller has over 6000+ 100% feedback. there's 6 days left in the auction so I'd expect it to go much higher. I may even bid if it stays low enough

The magnification is distorting appearances to me, but after a second look, i can find no certain indications that it is not authentic.

anyone else?

as far as ebay feedback being 100%, are there ways around this for those that want to beat the system????

i would say the interested party should call the seller and speak with him... if he answers the phone that is a good start.

You can check an Ebay seller's neutral and negative feedback by typing in their user ID at this link:

http://toolhaus.org/

As I've done here for the seller of this watch:

http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?Use...ed+by&ref=home

This gives you a little more information that the 100% positive rating.
