Crazy Black Friday weekend sales (31K and going higher for a Franken AP)

[lolo1972sg]

Check this out, guys: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1547105617...55-0&campid=5338796807&customid=&toolid=10049

There are so many drunkens out there, bidding in excess of 30K USD for a Franken. And the seller has even indicated that he only paid 5K for this.

Of course, one wonders whether some of the bidders are part of the whole scam gang....

30k looks like a bargain for this stuff looking fake from a mile :-(

 

[PaneraiCC]

Lol look at the movement. 30k for this for real??

Would eBay stop them? There’s an authentiate process that some gen owners waved about.

Smells like a scam bidding scheme to get the price up.

Thats exactly what i'm thinking. I dont think it was a bidding war so much as them driving the price up to get one unsuspecting buyer.

Too much of this stuff goes on with ebay. I've never bought a watch there, but I've paid for authentic software that came burned on a cd with a password in the packaging. Tons of positive reviews for that seller too, it's wild.

Yeah you cant sell "counterfeit" on ebay its in their terms and conditions but maybe it depends on the country..

I doubt that there is an eBay policy for any country which allows for counterfeit or replica items.
Often, these items get past the rules with sneaky use of words like "homage", "customized", or "aftermarket".

I don't believe anyone will pay 33k for a watch in the knowledge that it was previously bought for 5k by the eBay seller. Human stupidity is infinite though.

yep exactly, that said they are alot more strict on other policies like selling knives etc so maybe its one they are aware of and they are happy to allow to fly under the radar
