Hi,
thank you for your email. I still have it for sale. Right now i am gone in my honeymoon in Canada but i hope that`s not going to be a problem because i can still handle the transaction. When i left in my honeymoon, i left the item along with several other items in the custody of OCS because i wanted to sell them on eBay when i return, but something came up back home, something wrong with my mom and i decided to sell this one before i get back but not on ebay because i need to sell it faster. So if you are still interested let me know because i can make the transaction immediately. Just let me know and i will explain all the details of the transaction...
Thanks

Hello-

I am interested in your Rolex GMT. Where is it located?

I don't think so as this is too good to be true which usually means it is.

It's not even a good scam.

Hello,
As i said in my first email i will explain how OCS works because i want you to be clear on every aspect of this transaction. They are one of the best eBay selling services. You simply drop an item to one of their stores or they pick it up from your home ,you find a buyer and they will take care of the rest. When i left in my honeymoon i left 4 items for sale in their custody, they picked them up from my home so don`t ask at what store, or where the item is exactly because i don`t know...as long as they are handling the shipping and handling i don`t care where they are. I forgot to mention that the shipping is included in the price of sale. They offered me a discount on shipping because i am selling a large number of items and i can afford that.
So basically they have the item insured and ready for shipping. As soon as i will have your shipping details i will send it to them and they will start the transaction. They will email you with an invoice and payment instructions. You will have to send the payment to one of their agents by following the payment instructions. Then you will send the payment details to them, they will validate the transaction and will start the shipping ASAP. If you will have questions you can ask them directly.
Unfortunately the pick up is not possible because this is an urgent sale (like i said before i intended to sell this on eBay when i should have returned from my honeymoon but due to some recent problems back home i am forced to sell it now). OCS suggested to offer a return policy because my offers would substantially increase so i am offering a 10 day guarantee. This eliminates the pick up option but you will have the time to inspect it and decide if you want it or not. If for any reason you decide not to keep it, they will give you a full refund and will return the item on my expense.
So if you agree with this terms and decide to proceed, then i will need your full name and shipping address in order to start the transaction.

EXACT same letter I received and pos here months ago. This guy is a TOOL! I tried catching him...no luck.

I just love these scammers they tell you the whole story like they really making you a favor by holding the transaction before selling it on ebay. It is always i am not in the states right now but can do the transaction right away or someone else is helping me do the transaction. They think we are idiots, like we are going to wire them a large amount of cash with out doing our homework.

My ADD took hold and I got bored. Moved on to the next thing.

I was looking for a zero turn mower and found one on craigs list. I t was priced about 3k below what it should have been selling for. I got the say letter. So it isn't just Rolexes.
