I e-mailed this seller(he lives only about 30 minutes away from me) on E-Bay about going to see the watch and to see if he had a "buy it now price". In other words, if we could work out a deal, because no one had bid on the watch yet.
He e-mailed me back, and said that the "buy it now" price is $2950, and that he would not do a "face to face" deal. I took this to mean that he didn't even want me to look at the watch.

Just a heads up, I know it has the wrong bracelet on it, but does the watch itself look OK?

Why wouldn't a seller want to do a deal locally if he could work out a deal?
I would have to assume he doesn't want the buyer to see the watch before he/she buys it? Right?
Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions.

Looks like he sold an identical watch earlier this month too and used the same pictures, went for $3050

Image used on both listings.

His account has had recent activity so nothing wrong there, just a bit unusual, unless he has 2 explorers the same and using the same piccys, would rather see new pictures to prove its a different watch.

Guys, opinions?

...the 1st one ended 4 Feb.

...I suspect non-paying bidder from the 1st one.

...now listed/re-listed 11 Feb.

...the time frames are consistent with 7 day wait for NPB.

Stan.
