I could swear a blue streak that there are a couple of H factory PAM 243 M series reps priced as gens on eBay right now

Man, would I be PO'd - Any thoughts?

Its not surprising, it happens all the time.

I think anybody would be mad if they were the victim of this scam, I personally can't stand this type of behavior.

It's one thing if you get what you are looking for, whether you want a Gen or Rep, but to end up with a Rep after paying the price of a Gen? That's just wrong.

It sucks that people are this way, but it's just a (pitiful) Part of humanity.

One of the downsides of the rep-world unfortunately, and the side which anti-rep people focus on the most. "Reps are scammers! They're trying to trick you and steal your money"

It is very disappointing.

I've been a seller on eBay since 1998 - high dollar stuff - and until I started absorbing the knowledge of RWG and RWI I had no idea how many reps were being sold as gens on eBay.

Frankly I'm very lucky to have dodged a bullet buying there.

Thank you - I'm pretty new here and I posted the links in that forum. I'd bet a weeks paycheck they are reps - one for $5900 and the other for $6200. Sickening

post the links, we like to report scammers. They are what gives this hobby a bad name.

The dead give aways are the skinny 12 and 6, bezel edge not polished high enough, and there is no apostrophe in "divers professional" on the case back

Those don't look like reps

the apostrophe was dropped after J Series

The first link you post is a K Series. Reps of that version were not good. However the K Series in the link doesn't show any of the obvious tells of the rep K series. In fact that CG is gen.... LOL
