why do powersellers do this?

I just dont understand why someone with a good track record will take a chance at ruining their good standing by posting fake Rolex's!
it doesnt make any sense!

I honestly believe they are clueless. The seller even makes the old "Needs a new battery" comment.

Fake Rolex sellers need shot! Even an idiot would SURELY know thats a fake!!
My fiancee only knows about watches as I talk about them all the time, and she spotted the tell-tale signs immediately.

Looks like that clasp is made from commercial grade steel and the Rolex impression hammered in by a monkey! Still no bids? I wonder how long before someone bites

Even if the seller is clueless, they very well know a Rolex is worth more then $99.

He/she is knowingly selling a fake IMO.

I go to Florida every year on holiday and have friends who live in Wesley Chapel in Tampa....

They took me to Downtown Tampa recently, and the old town? the bit with the trams running through them....
