georgegrasser Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 This one is funny. There are two previous customers screaming! I myself just put in a max bid of $5,200. I want to see if Ebay lets me get taken.

georgegrasser Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'm sure it is. Or did you mean him? He is too. This is my issue. He can't guarantee authenticity. Fine, whatever. But he knows what he paid for it. So then why did rip off the two TAG buyers? Ebay has a contact block. I can't tell them to file a PP claim.

giorgio Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 This is my issue. He can't guarantee authenticity. Fine, whatever. But he knows what he paid for it. I don't think it is fine. I always hate this story. If you have an $18000 watch, you know whether it's genuine or not. Even if it's a gift. Your GF buys you an AP ROO for your birthday, if she's driving a Bentley GT, it's real, Honda Civic, rep. No guarantee means "I guarantee it's fake". Ebay doesn't allow disclaimers anyway, even though they seem to ignore complaints about fake watches most of the time, they usually will pull an auction that has a disclaimer if someone complains, but we'll see. Ebay has a contact block. I can't tell them to file a PP claim. This one is bothering me. Seems like they don't want people being warned and certainly don't want to have to hire a staff to authenticate auctions so caveat emptor really applies to Ebay purchases.

Guest Sql_pl Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 As far as I see the pics show the real deal... secs running at 12... 12 o'clock subdial a bit lower just as it should be... The problem is the winner will not be getting what he sees... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The block seems to be random. I can contact other that have been ripped. I meant "fine whatever in general" he can sell it for how little he wants to. but not on Ebay of course.

anton Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I hate it when people say that they cannot guarantee the authenticity of a $18,000 watch. If it costs $18,000, I think one would have the authenticity engraved into their brains until the day they die. And maybe they'll tell their in-laws or siblings the story of how they once had an $18,000 watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) Lets have some fun. Bid it up there. I've got it covered to $5,200. That plus the previous complaints should leave one held harmless. Edited August 26, 2007 by georgegrasser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
