azerbyjam Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Good spot Pix, hope we caught it in time, hate to think that some poor soul pays $1200 for that POS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Obviously *bay does not care AT ALL about at least 2 guys pointing out a fake... I wonder why we persist reporting this kind of scam. After all, both *bay and the buyer paying 1000+ USD without verifying a minimum are not worth doing that. Are people truely so stupid ? I have to wake up...

richard_uk Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Did anyone contact the 'winner'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I did. But I had to confirm my identity by giving... a credit card number or something ! I guess this is typical from ebay.com to avoid spam. I don't have this in the ebay of my country. And I won't give any personal data to send a PM to an unknown ebayer. I contacted the seller as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 ok I've contacted him. I didn't bother contacting the seller as I guess he already knows exactly whats he's selling anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hi, I sent a second message. With my real id this time (the other one was a 0 account so maybe that explains why I was asked for a particular identification). Here's the answer :Wrong. Watch was matched up with serial numbers and verified by a local Mont Blanc rep to be 100% authentic. $1200 is a great deal for a $2800 watch.Then, let him burn in hell with the buyer... He's either a shill or retarded (sorry, I rarely lack of respect with the guys I talk to) And here's my answer Wear it well. But before, do yourself a favour and visit Montblanc's website... I'm a watch collector, own 2 Montblanc and tell you this one is fake. I would be you, I would have it verified by a Montblanc seller myself. Anyway, I was trying to help. If you are ok with your purchase, everything's ok and I withdraw any of my remarks. Kind regards. Well, I think this guy rather sees me as the scammer, so, let him be happy with his piece of & Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 And BTW, if really a MB reseller certified the thing, I wonder why we all are so reluctant to have our reps serviced by our local watchsmithes !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 He sent me the same reply, it's obviously [censored], probably a shill bidder. Don't give up on warning people, I've done it many times and more often than not get thanked for it from a relieved almost scammed buyer.

Pix Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 You're wiser than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi, just for fun. I received this message today, Idon't know why he insisted. Took the watch to be verified by the Mont Blanc General Manager in San Francisco and it is 100% authentic. Just thought that you might be interested in knowing. Not all watches on eBay are fake. This one was just a good deal. Most happy for him... The Mont blanc general manager verified the rep himself and did not see any flaw. I must be som kind of idiot...
