Icon4 Remember that arse Roach13?

This is odd, VERY odd... http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-Rolex-...item255645dc38

He was so adamant about downing the whole effort to stop the fake DSSD wave, (read the 'beware' sticky above) but now there is a 'roach777' on ebay selling two of them with the STOCK PHOTO ONLY! Something don't smell right...

Geez. He really is a roach...if it IS "roach13"...just when you think you've gotten rid of it, it comes back...

Could be Greg, but this roach777 has been an eBay member since 1998, and has 1,887 feedback postings with 100% positive. That wouldn't be our infamous roach, I don't think. He wouldn't be able to generate even ONE positive response, probably not even from his mother...

I respectfully disagree, Allan. Look at what he has been selling - unlocked iphones and other such stuff. Plus - how many people would actually use the name Roach?!

I do however agree that he's one person even his mom wouldn't like. But I am certain that it is the SAME cuccaracha!

As I said Greg, you could be right. If you ARE right, go get him!!! BTW, you certainly ARE right about how many sane people would use the name Roach!!

Greg , you could of course be right but I just did a quick check on Ebay members and there is no shortage of roaches . Ok , he will probably be the only one advertising a Deepsea . This roach777 has sold loads of telephone stuff and the next day he claims he can get any watch. Sure I wouldn't be buying from him .

Here's what he replied when I asked him for pics:

eBay sent this message to Marc Magsaysay (marcinthemiddle).
Your registered name is included to show this message originated from eBay. Learn more.


Seller has responded to your question about this item:


"Dear marcinthemiddle,

hi, i don't personally own the watches i sell. they all come from my jeweler. thanks.


- roach777"

WTF does that mean???

sorry for the double-post... My system hiccuped.


Marc, what that means is a) he's selling air or b)he's willing to answer for another person,especially a dealer. Either way, I'd run.

Seriously though

with the influx of all the fake DSSD's, it would make sense to institute a rule that actual piece should be photographed, no stock photo's allowed. Hell, that'd be a good rule for anything over $100 in value.

It's the same guy, he has an ebay account and a ProStores site (owned by ebay as well). Selling air, selling air...
