Can't believe eBay hasn't pulled this one yet. I also reported it yesterday. As far as the 31 bids, $2400 now? Well maybe it's the rare faux Cyclops variant?

I don't which is worse.
The fact that these are listed as genuine or that they have so many bids on them.
Maybe I should list the piece of the jewel of the Nile I found in Africa.
I mean, it's only like 128 karats but the guy at Walmart told me it was authentic so it should be worth something, right ?

I've reported it twice - in the past, I've reported some fakes twice a day for a week or more...

Reported again, and I saw the yuckmaster is still there, reported again also. It is beyond me that people actually bid on these.

A lot of it is shill bidding with a few buddies in the hope of pulling somebody in - all the shill bidders disappear at the end of the auction, leaving only the sucker who is happy at first because he won the auction...

Wow. That is crazy. It doesn't even have box or paper and its brand new. Report to eBay. Feel bad for the winner.

I dont understand how eBay clearly don-t give a toss about people punting these things. Imagine the poor sucker that gets a decent v6s or alike on there... even someone with half decent knowledge of gens and reps needs a moment to see one of those...

Ebay got their wrists slapped a few years ago for not doing enough to eliminate fraudulent sales - doesn't seem like a lot has changed.

Anyone who buys a Rolex with stated "serial number issues" deserves to be separated from there money. That being said I will login to eBay and start harassing him too.

I agree. I'm torn between the seller being a scumbag and any serious buyer being a dumbass. However, I despise liars and cheats.

Check out the "Questions and answers about this item" section below the listing.

Question & Answer
Answered On
Q:Hello there. Do you have a pic of the movement of this watch? You can unscrew the back by placing a tennis ball on the back and unscrewing. Obviously, our concern is that it is not genuine rolex. Can you take A pic of the inside numbers on the clasp? Do you have paperwork from the place that looked the watch over?Oct-09-16
A:THE WINNER CAN DO ALL THAT BEFORE HE OR SHE RELEASES THE MONEY & NO PAPER WORK CAUSE NOBODY WANT TO DINK OR FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE # ISSUE & I DONT WANT TO BRAKE IT SEE THAT WHAT YOU ALL GOT WRONG I DONT PLAN ON GETTING PAID UNTIL BUYER IS SATISFIED..... SO TO ALL HATERS, HATE ON & HATE HARDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAUSE EVEN WITH ALL YOU HATING I'M STILL GETTING BIDS
Q:LOL. It's called a crystal and has nothing to do with the crown or crown guards. Date font is wrong too. I hope it's worth ripping somebody off for a couple thousand dollars. You are now on notice and have very opportunity to get a free written appraisal. You won't take that simple and free step because you know it's a fake. It has been reported to eBay, Rolex and the Oregon Attorney General's office.

NOW STAY OFF MY POST HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Q:If by chance this listing is still running in the morning I'll help you out by calling ebay and explaining to them exactly what's fake about it. In the meantime perhaps you should compare yours to pics of a genuine YM. Rather than point out what's fake on this watch, it would be easier to point out what "isn't".Oct-09-16
A:I'VE Said MY Part So Buyer Beware... oooooooo..... Jk...... I dont under stand why people are hating on MY post... NOTE TO BIDDERS & BUYER IF YOU AINT HAPPY WITH PURCHASE THEN SEND IT BACC, I DONT GET PAID UNTIL YOU RELEASE THE MONEY... SO WHATS EVERYONES PROBLEM... IDK
Q:I can tell you with 200% certainty that your watch is not only a fake but an extremely cheap one as well. Because you made the effort to post your reply to a inquiry on the listing, mind if I ask exactly "which" shops confirmed it's authenticity ? And why ? I ask so I can make a note never to send any of my watches in to them....because if they told you "it's the real deal" then they obviously know little to nothing regarding Rolex timepieces. FYI...any watch repair shop that appraises a watch for the purpose of a service invoice of any kind will write a certificate of authenticity for the purpose of a warranty on their parts/labor. Now that you've been made aware of the fact that your watch is an extremely cheap replica I would ask that you do the honorable thing and remove the listing to avoid a huge headache for yourself and perhaps an unsuspecting buyer.Oct-09-16
A:your opinion isnt needed or wanted
Q:Note this listing has been reported by myself and likely several others.Yes this listing is "being hated on" for the simple fact that it's not only junk but you KNOW it is. Good luck scammer. PS - yes your pics with a cheap phone cam easily dictate that it's fake. And if "you" can't tell it is then "you" have much to learn about Rolex timepieces.Oct-08-16
A:Really Stay Off MY Stuff You Dont KNOW ME So Dont Profile ME I Know I DONT GET PAID UNTIL BUYER RELEASES FUNDS SO HOW AM I SCAMMING
Q:Had it a year and took it to the shop ? For what ?>? Genuine Rolex watches aren't known for needing service after a year. And if you paid more than 20.00 for this POS then YOU"RE the foolish one.Rest assured myself and several other members on The Rolex Forum are doing our best to see that you don't screw some unsuspecting buyer that obviously knows nothing about Rolex. You do know that even if this does slip through the cracks and sell, pay pal won't release funds until the buyer leaves positive feedback ? And that's not gonna happen...as soon as it arrives they'll immediately realize they've been scammed. YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FROM SELLING HERE ON EBAY.Oct-08-16
A:I Know How Paypal works and I dont Expect Buyer To Release The Funds Until He or She Is Satisfied w/ The Watch They Purchase Os I Dont Know Who You Are or Do You Know ME So I'D Like It If You Didn't Profile ME As A Scam or Put Your Opinion Where It Isn't Needed... IF BUYER ISN'T SATISFIED w/ Watch Knowing & Accepting The Issue w/ #'s Then They May Ask for Refund and Send Watch Back... and actually watch was taken in for repair to sell I need the money but I'M not some lame out here to rip someone off I work for Mine and I don't want bad karma..." Do As To Others As You Want Others To Do To You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
Q:Since you are insistent on defrauding a buyer this has been reported to eBay and Rolex, N.A.Oct-07-16
A:whatever dude how am i insisting on defrauding a buyer??? i was told by 2 different watchmakers or the people at a desk with watches all around them that its real as for what they see... so i think you are just hating and trying to shut my auction down you havent seen watch and if your trying to tell by a photo taken from a $100 cell phone then you dont know to much like you seem to think!!!

You would think that these questions and answers would raise some concerns with Ebay.

I don't know what determines if they get posted in the sale. I bet the seller doesn't even know they are posted. I love the guy who says he can tell with "200%" certainty it is fake.

Any questions asked will be published if I understand correctly ...But they can be deleted from the sale if the seller doesn't want them visible....

The blue POS is still up for sale, and he never answered my question about paperwork..
