...story sounds beleivable. HOWEVER, says he had appraised at Ben Bridge for 6K. I messaged him to see if he would add a clear pic of the appraisal....we will see.

Only one picture, can't see the cyclops for date magnification verification, if he has an appraisal, why not show it w/o the price showing, box does not look right, picture is horrible, history seems sketchy, no original papers, if he got a great deal on it then it may have gone up in value as he didn't pay enough for it in the first place. This adds to the scam though to hook someone in to the buy, especially if it is a fake, 15 E-Bay transactions, but no true sales, bought one recent item and the rest of the buys are over 90 days old so you cannot truly see his money spent, only high priced item sold and only item sold; period.

I know, I have a suspicious mind.
