Additional, Additional.
The info eg sales after sales advice blah blah blah at the bottom that looks quite legit seems to be a slightly altered version of a cut and paste of 'interwatches' sales information. Link here - http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI...d=interwatches

Hi TTG,
I did see that post just after I pooped this one on, do you have a link to the site mentioned in the other discussion as I'm finding it a little hard to swallow that a reputable seller would be using the above dialogue and non original pictures. Just playing the usual investigation routes :-) Cheers, Dave.

TTG,
That add up nicely :-) just unusual the transition between such a well presented site and the way out strange dialogue on the listed items on the bay at first glance is plain weird. Phone numbers and store details are spot on :-) All I can put it down to is a creative staff member LOL Thanks for pointing that one out :-) Cheers, Dave.

They can not seem to get off the ground on Ebay. I agree with you that their presentation looks questionable.

They want to follow the same form as their site, branding goes a long way :-)

Since I may be going to Atlanta for the weekend, I emailed the guy and asked him if I could look at his watches in person before making a purchase. Stay tuned....

THe guy email back, said his store is in dowtown Atlanta but you need to inform him a day ahead of time of what Rolex you want so he can have it by them time you arrive. He says they dont keep many if any Rolex's in the store. However, he claims you have to make the payment before you arrive to pick it up. Pretty decent scam for someone unaware of whats going around these days

I sent the guy another email asking where exactly in Atlanta was so I could be sure to come by and if I did have to pay prior to coming in, and he told me he would not release any other information until I make a purchase due to other competitors. Wouldnt even tell me where the store was. Stay far, far away from this guy

Ok this is getting more interesting and confirming my initial thoughts on this seller (eBay).
Seems a bit cloak and dagger so far.

Sad, if these people would spend as much time working making an honest living as they do scamming, they would double maybe triple their income. Lot of sad disgusting people out there today. As for this guy, I would stay completely away. He knows what I was trying to find out, which is why he said unless I make a purchase he wouldnt release any other info. I would do everything I could to get someone to come shop in my store, but of course Im not a scammer either. Anyway, good catch guys

This seller has no auctions for sale at present. They all went on a walkabout.
