So this seller has listed a BLNR on eBay but does not have it in hand?

Yeah well doesn't much matter what he says. Is he a watch dealer? If so then that's just the game unfortunately!

What's the premium he's asking? eBay generally asks for $250 USD maxed final value fee + 3% PayPal fee, all not including postage

Unless you are really experienced I highly recommend not buying a watch from eBay. Period.

Why don't you play along and see if indeed it's the AD that you think it is.

Looked at watchfinder too expensive.

I have done the befriend an AD bit and i am number 3 on their list.

Been invited to a VIP night where they are telling me they might be one on offer.

The one on ebay is a pre price increase purchase so i offered him £6600 but he turned is nose up at that.

Is very frustrating I must say. Never thought I'd see the day I'd be begging an AD to take my money
