Re: Beware of refurbished 7A38-7070's from Italian eBay seller

That refurbished 7A38-7070 allegedly sold for an undisclosed best offer on 17th August. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285989369781 7A38-7070-(Divers)-Stainless-BlackFace-eBay-August2024-Ended-Sold-BestOffer.png Whoever bought it evidently wasn't impressed and presumably returned it.

Re: Rare Puma Y19904-50 listed on eBay Italy

This deluded Italian eBay seller le24ore is evidently another of these chancers, like carm_en and only_time_watch , who think ending and immediately re-listing their over-priced items will snare a buyer. He's already re-listed it twice more since my earlier post. I'm not going to waste my time taki...

Re: Profiteering US eBay re-seller Flobaca strikes again !

I hadn't previously bothered to post an update, but flobaca ended that re-listing for the 7A38-7069 on a leather strap on 18th August, because the item is allegedly no longer available . That probably means he accepted an offer off eBay. :roll: So it was just a matter of time before he listed his ne...

Good condition 7A38-701B 'Vulcan' sold in eBay auction

Although I still regularly review my search result notifications, lately I've come to despise eBay. It's nothing like it was 10 years ago. There are so many greedy chancers and speculators trying to make a fast buck selling Seiko 7Axx's nowadays. Watches are frequently listed with ridiculous 'pie-in...

Re: Yet another profiteering (UK) eBay seller to avoid !!

I thought that might be good for a laugh. The US eBay re-seller's auction ended on Monday evening, with the gold-tone 7A38-7190 selling for $130.50 after 34 bids. That's equivalent to just over £100 quid - slightly less than the £102 it was sold for by vintagehoneypots in March. So much for the £325...

Re: Greediest Extortionate 7Axx Spares Pricing Award ....

We have a new leader in the Greediest Spares Pricing stakes. :x Last night, US eBay seller everyfirstwatch, a dealer who was already on my radar, due to his ridiculously over-priced 7A38's , listed a NOS empty watch case for a 7A38-7140 SAA051J with a typically greedy Buy-it-Now price of $800 (or $9...

Re: Profiteering US eBay re-seller Flobaca strikes again !

Oh dear, what a shame. Flobaca 's most recent sale of his 7A38-7069, fitted with a leather strap, appears to have fallen through. It was back on eBay, re-listed in the early hours of this morning - same as before, a 7-day auction listing with an opening bid price of $125. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/...

Greedy profiteering US eBay re-seller rtm127 , a.k.a, Ryan Marucheau's previous ex-Yahoo Japan 7A38-6030, per above post, not surprisingly remains unsold. As is his usual practice, he'd re-listed it as a Buy-it-Now ( item # 256573771442 ). Last night he listed another, in similar worn condition, wit...

Re: Yet another greedy German Profiteering eBay re-seller !

At the risk of almost repeating myself .... not surprisingly, given the risible asking price and relatively poor condition, the above partially stripped gold-tone 7A38-7280 remains unsold. Like other devious eBay sellers, m.a.k.2979 is one of those who periodically end their listings as allegedly 'n...

Re: Beware of refurbished 7A38-7070's from Italian eBay seller

They listed another 7A38-7070 yesterday afternoon, with a somewhat lower Buy-it-Now price of €635, with the option to make an offer. Given the refurbished (and incorrect) condition, that's still more than double what it's realistically worth. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285989369781 ✔✔VERY GOOD CONDI...

Beware of refurbished 7A38-7070's from Italian eBay seller

This year I started noticing both 7A28-7040's and 7A38-7070's being listed by an Italian eBay seller fabio2737 . Generally, their overall condition appears to be 'too good to be true' and their frankly ridiculous 'Buy-it-Now' prices reflect that. What makes these watches look so good is that they ha...

Re: Yet another profiteering (UK) eBay seller to avoid !!

Re: NOS Cartier Ferrari Formula CAL.531 incoming ....

You don't see anywhere near as many of these on eBay nowadays, so I was pleased to see a NOS example of F6094825, listed last weekend by an Italian seller as a 5-day auction. The problem for me was his opening bid price, €800 Euros. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256577222785 ULTRA RARE VINTAGE CARTIER ...

NOS Cartier Ferrari Formula CAL.531 incoming ....

I've been a Ferrari fan (and sometimes dyed in the wool Tifosi) since the early 1960's, so it's natural to expect that my diverse 7A38 collection should include at least a 'few' of the Cartier Ferrari Formula CAL.531 variants. I bought my first in December 2009 in an auction on eBay Germany. It was ...

The 18K gold version of the Jean Lassale Thalassa (7A74-011) remains one of the few 'grails' that have eluded me.
