Profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca may have deviated from plan in recent months, listing a number of less desirable two-tone and gold-tone 7A38's, but that's purely down to competition from other buyers and his evident unwillingness to pay higher prices for half decent examples. Seems he may finally have found another suitably horrid example to resume business as usual. There's also another possibility pending, so I give you my prediction for one of his future offerings.

This well-worn stainless 7A38-7020, with a smashed crystal and missing its crown / stem, in dire need of some TLC, was listed in the early hours of this morning, by a US eBay seller, with a Buy-it-Now price of $125:

EBay appears to have taken another obfuscating step towards withholding any useful information. This latest version of the Purchase History screen no longer shows the feedback rating - just the encrypted buyer ID. Not that it would have made any difference in this case. I'm fairly certain it's his other ID zenodass44, which he uses for buying. ;)

Forgive me readers. With hindsight, I seem to have got that prediction wrong. :oops: Whereas that stainless 7A38-7020 certainly looked like typical 'potential flobaca fodder', I now believe that suitably cheap example was snapped up by another, as yet unidentified, competing buyer. Indeed they may have beaten flobaca to the punch on two occasions.

In the early hours of this morning, flobaca listed another re-worked 7A38-7029 - one which I certainly hadn't previously anticipated, as a 7-day auction with an opening bid price of $450.

This purchase seemed very out of character, compared to flobaca's favoured snatch and grab lowball modus operandi. WatchCount.com's Look-up tool shows the listing was live for 3 days and had received 200 views before he stepped in.

This time, I'm absolutely certain. The eBay Purchase History shows it sold to an encrypted ID of d***z for a best offer.

Obviously I've no idea what the offer accepted may have been. As a rule, flobaca prefers to pay no more than $250 for these (even when fully functional). As he's had to expend some work on this example, but the opening bid price is 'only' $450, I suspect that's probably the case here too.

I'm going out on a limb here by making another prediction for one of flobaca's forthcoming warmed over 7A38 offerings. This well-worn 7A38-702A with mis-aligned bezel (incidentally, one of a number of such I've seen recently) was listed by a comparatively inexperienced US eBay seller on Friday 2nd July, as a 7-day auction, with an opening bid price of $149.

Note the phrase in the seller's description: 'but will need some attention as the the three registers reset, but not to 12 o'clock'. Evidently the seller was blissfully unaware of what a simple two-minute job it is to zero the chrono' hands. :roll:

The seller ended the listing 3 days early by accepting an undisclosed (likely lowball) best offer, late yesterday evening:

Once again, I'm almost certain on this particular occasion, because not only does the eBay Bidding History reveal an encrypted user ID of s***z, but also that they have (private) feedback. ;)

How's that for a prediction ? 8-) Also an incredibly quick turnaround by profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca. :o In the early hours of this morning he listed that same well-worn 7A38-702A as a 7-day auction with a typically over-optimistic marked up opening bid price of $275. :roll:

He's correctly re-oriented the misaligned bezel and fitted a new crystal. I was wondering if he might have stripped the remaining worn gold plating and polished the bezel, just leaving the gold dummy rivets (in the best watch-botching tradition). Evidently he was in too much of a hurry to get it listed on eBay. Judging by the encrusted filth that's still visible, between the lugs, in his shot of the case-back, it looks like he didn't even bother to remove and clean the bracelet. Needless to say, the serial number 3N1125 matches and the chronograph hands have been zero'd. :roll:

No great surprise, given the far too ambitious opening bid price and condition, flobaca's recent 7-day auction for that well-worn 7A38-702A ended in the early hours of this morning, without any bids placed. He re-listed it a couple of hours later, with the same opening bid price of $275. :roll: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEIKO-7A38-C ... 4536081687

Meanwhile, seems he already has another in the pipeline, in better condition. In fact it's a 7A38-702H (rather than 'A').
It was listed earlier this week by a US eBay seller, with a Buy-it-Now price of $199 and the option to make an offer.

Here's a couple of the seller's 7 photos. (Unfortunately, there wasn't a photo of the movement included among them.)
Note the dis-oriented Tachymeter ring, indicating they've probably had the dial / movement out for whatever reason.

That recalcitrant sweep second hand may well have been caused by a clumsily deflected finger tension spring. ;)

Looks like whoever rushed in and bought that 7A38-7029 a couple of weeks ago, has realized their mistake, or suffered from buyer's remorse and returned it. In the early hours of this morning profiteering US eBay seller flobaca re-listed it:

Looks like profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca finally managed to find a buyer for those two much-re-listed 7A38's this afternoon. Both watches were sold almost simultaneously (to the same buyer), for a reduced opening bid price of $150.

Did you think that $150 was reasonable, or at least not more than $25 to $50 too high?

I wouldn't say it was unreasonable, but to put that $150 into perspective, you need to go back to the bottom of the previous page to remind yourself how much flobaca had paid for them, back in May: being $45 and $49 respectively.

Looks like whoever rushed in and bought that 7A38-7029 a couple of weeks ago, has realized their mistake, or suffered from buyer's remorse and returned it. In the early hours of this morning profiteering US eBay seller flobaca re-listed it:

At the risk of repeating myself (and labouring the point), profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca's latest (6th) re-listing, for his most recent 7A38-7029 (which he'd first listed on 4th July), has still failed to attract a bid and remains unsold.

That said, it doesn't appear to deter him from acquiring more stock in trade for his next greedy profit-making venture. Gentlemen, I give you my prediction for another of his forthcoming offerings. There's some irony to this one too. :roll:

This 7A38-7029 in decent used condition, was listed albeit briefly in the early hours of this morning by an unsuspecting US eBay seller, with a not unreasonable Buy-it-Now price of $325, with the option to make an offer.

The irony ? :? Those of you who follow flobaca's nefarious activities will likely have noticed that he never bothers to write the full model number in his listing title (or descriptions) - just '7A38'. His usual standard generic template title, complete with typical Slavic grammatically incorrect plural 'CONDITIONS' (per his current 7A38-7029 re-listing) being:

SEIKO 7A38 CHRONOGRAPH *** NICE VINTAGE FULLY WORKING CONDITIONS

Compare that with the listing title of the 7A38-7029 he's just bought. It would appear that US eBay seller gargl71 had unwittingly created his listing by cloning flobaca's current re-listing, using eBay's 'sell one like this' feature. Ironic ? :roll:

In the early hours of this morning, profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca listed this well-worn gold-tone 7A38-7289 as a 7-day auction with an opening bid price of $125. Note that it's been fitted with a non-original red-tipped aftermarket sweep second hand (by him).

Not difficult to figure out where he bought this one. It was listed 'For Parts or Repair', as a 7-day auction by another US eBay seller earlier this month, with an opening bid price of $49.99.

The auction ran the full 7-day duration. Flobaca (using his other eBay ID with private feedback) was the only bidder.

Profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca's well-worn gold-tone 7A38-7289, fitted with a non-original sweep second hand, failed to attract a bid first time around.

I note with some satisfaction, it appears to be taking profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca longer to shift his ill-gotten Seiko 7A38's. He subsequently re-listed that 7A38-7029 four more times as 7-day auctions, before someone placed a bid on the latest re-listing mid-week. It ended in the early hours of this morning, selling for the opening bid price of $450.

Erstwhile regular profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca has been extremely quiet of late, especially when you compare his recent activity to that of the greedy 'johnny-come-lately' in this other thread. I can't remember when I last saw him list a 7A38-7029, but two days ago, he finally broke cover after a long absence and listed a decent looking 7A38-702H, as a 7-day auction, with a typically over-ambitious opening bid price of $350.

Here's a couple of the seller's 7 photos. (Unfortunately, there wasn't a photo of the movement included among them.)
Note the dis-oriented Tachymeter ring, indicating they've probably had the dial / movement out for whatever reason.

I think that day may finally be coming around again sometime soon. ;)

This well-worn 7A38-7029 was first listed by a US eBay seller on 19th November last year, as a 10-day auction, with an opening bid price of $300. It failed to attract any bids and was re-listed on 19th December as another 10-day auction, but with a reduced opening bid price of $150 and supposedly sold for $335 after 17 bids.

That auction may quite possibly have been shilled, because the winning bidder had 100% activity with this seller:

It was re-listed 2 days ago, by another US eBay seller, strangely enough also located in Albuquerque, NM, as Buy-it-Now for $225, with the option to make an offer. The listing title was exactly same as before, as were 5 of the 6 photos, but uploaded in a different order, oddly not making best advantage of the previous much better primary image (which I've posted below). However, the revised description was somewhat shorter:

The eBay Purchase History shows an encrypted buyer ID of d***z, which in all likelihood is zenodass44, flobaca's other eBay ID that he uses for buying. Scrolling to the bottom, his two earlier retracted offers hint at possible shenanigans.

I can't remember when I last saw him list a 7A38-7029, but two days ago, he finally broke cover after a long absence and listed a decent looking 7A38-702H, as a 7-day auction, with a typically over-ambitious opening bid price of $350.

Flobaca's first 7-day auction for that 7A38-702H ended without any bids placed, unsold. He re-listed it, initially exactly as before, but then on 14th January revised the re-listing, cheekily increasing the opening bid price from $350 to $400 - and somehow managed to catch himself a mug punter bidder !! :roll:

Assuming I'm correct in my prediction, for future reference, this 7A38-7029's case-back serial number is 442636:

If nothing else, profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca is so eminently predictable ! :lol: Yesterday evening he listed that same well-worn 7A38-7029 as a 7-day auction, with an opening bid price of $500.

Of course, the serial number 442636 matches. I've no idea what he's done to get it running again, but if you look at his photo of the case-back, it's plainly obvious he's made no attempt to clean the accumulated filth from the bracelet. 👎

Belated Edit: Evidently flobaca decided he hadn't pitched it high enough. Earlier this afternoon, he revised the listing, increasing the opening bid price from $500 to $550.
