Suspect seller of two subs..

0-feedbacker, stock photo and a two- liner description:

"It is man Rolex watches it was purchased from Ben Bridge on 12-23-08 never used

Buyer is responsible to pick up the watches"

If the seller had the watches he would certainly show them (if he had 1/2 a brain cell).

I will ask him for photos and we shall see.

I smell

This is a Topnotch-watch Picture that has been cropped to get rid of the background. He is a 0 feedback seller who is trying to steal good money from people. He has an identical watch on E-Bay that he is also trying to sell. The same story, the same picture, the same everything.

CLOWNUSAMONGUS!

Stolen photo....

eBay will certainly frown on this seller and his two (scam) auctions.

The only redeeming value to the sale is that they are a Pick-up only sale. He is not shipping to anyone. I would think that this still should be a transaction that is conducted where the watches could be verified. I wonder what kind of deal he got on them, to offer them at below retail, as Ben Bridge is not known for discounting Rolex watches.

Any other opinions?
