massive scam on ebay right now

100's of high end watches (Rolex,IWC etc)all saying the buy it now price is $2650.00
what do you guys make of it? Looks to be a hacked account as the low priced stuff does not have the below image imbedded?
For instance this 2 tone daytona?

Are you sure you're not an Astronaut Anastasios, my friend? Isn't that your space helmet in your avatar?

Thoughts on these two. I know our trusty aussie dollar has gone up but thought these two started suspiciously close to that mark and way below their brands would suggest, are these more of the same or just a coincidence or a real bargain.... The adds and know history paint to a brave investment, all though mechanism looks better than a chinese special

Safer to buy from this forum. Prices are better, sellers are better. Ebay is a risky when you can't trust feedback anymore.

Agreed, my wife watch was bought from Greekbum, she remains very happy. Being on the other side of the world makes it tough though, luckily I get to the US a couple of times a year.

I'd be wary.
Especially when the seller can't even spell where he lives correctly.
Marimbula it aint.
Merimbula it is!

It's not like e and a could be considered a typo.

The Adelaide blancpain, well, where's the papers or box?
Ask the seller to provide a piccy with their user name next to the watch, and purchase details.

The answers provided will give you an idea of the nature of the seller, hopefully.
