I bought my wife's BNIB Rolex from Highline Times. They only sold high-end watches and their customer service (before and after) was the best I've experience on eBay. And the price was really good, too.

There are a number of good sellers on eBay if you do your homework. My issue was finding one that sold at reasonable, non-delusional prices.

I find the prices to be extremely high on eBay.
This is probably because they want to recoup the losses due to seller fees.

There are many sellers that sell here and on ebay, you need to know the seller and your stuff but most important is a trustworthy seller

I'm pretty sure greekbum is on eBay (as well as here of course). He seems to have a good reputation and very reasonable prices.

Yep, for sure are a lot of reputable sellers on ebay, but also are a lot more fake ads than anywhere.
Also, high prices due to large fees. Also, ebay and paypal customer support is so infect, i even can't decide if the operators who work there are some bugged and retarded robots or they are real persons. And thats why you pay enormous and big fees, only that ebay and paypal has a large number of people who use it.

Icon20 cheaper on TRF ?

sounds like you are saying that prices are actually cheaper from TRF sellers than on eBay for a comparable watch - due to the overhead you mentioned - is it possible to get a new unworn rolex for 25% off the retail - the best I have heard is 20%

Completely agree with that, but also bad sellers are way more than good ones. From my oppinion, you need to be lucky to stop to a good seller ad on ebay.
