Daytona for $6k? Legit?

There's a Craigslist ad for a Daytona for $6K

http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/jwl/507658998.html

a couple of things make me a little suspicious

1. The price.

2. There's a story attached to why it's being sold for such a good price. The seller is the wife of someone who passed and she says "first come first serve i don't want it around. First 6k It's gone!"

Your thoughts? Is the picture even good enough to tell?

She could take it to any jewelry store and get about 2.5-3K more for that watch than the offering price.

Scam.

Thanks for your interest. I will be listing up for auction because I'm in boston for 2 weeks and will be shipping. If you don't have a problem with OVERNIGHT shipping then I'll hold it.

Happy Holidays
Sue

Wasn't that the dude with the supposed huge collection that tried to sell a fake here?

Pathetic that he'd try a scam like this, preying on synpathies for a "dead" husband.

I remember that guy from back in September when he tried his last scam.
Did a search and the whole history comes up.
