Either someone got a GREAT deal or there is a need for INVALIDATION

I clicked on this listing and it was a BIN, which ended with the BIN (DUH!) at that price!

All gold for $6,900! NAH!

Time to study this one!

Well there's nothing wrong with the pics. It is genuine and mmatches description. If the buyer gets the watch pictured then it was indeed a massive bargain! We can watch the sellers feedback and see if the buyer leaves it for this watch...

The seller's last action on ebay was something so small.
And suddenly offers a sweet deal for a Gold Daytona.
I don't buy it.

I don't see anything wrong. The items are different than the standard Rolex accessories, but good from what I've seen

Hang on, why have you got the listing removed? What option did you choose?

From the evidence presented on the sale there was no way to know there was anything bad/dodgy/scam going on.

I did not remove the listing - EBAY did!

A $15K watch selling for $6,900 is an outright scam!

So you didn't file a report to Ebay for whatever reason?

Fair enough if you didn't and Ebay pulled it all by themselves. But although you think it's a scam that's only your belief so by all means warn people about it because of what you think but in the light of no evidence to that fact other than a bargain price then reporting it to Ebay would be completely wrong imo in this case.

I did report it as a SUSPICIOUS sale. They determined the outcome.

If I was wrong, the seller will relist and it will continue. ( I doubt it!)

But I am GLAD it was pulled! I think the buyer was saved on this instance!

I hope it was more the case of a stolen seller account or listing violation. I'd hate to think if this was a legitimate deal and one person reports it as suspicious would ruin it for everyone else.

True, so true.....I just call the pics as I see them, TTG is a master and if he says it's a crooked deal then......


That's why he is who he is!

That is just comical. By all means report fakes, bad descriptions etc but to say that if TTG doesn't like a sale then that's a good enough reason to get it pulled then that is just crazy.
