The full sorry saga of this watch can be found on the previous page, in a series of posts. Checking my eBay watching page, it appears that greedy unscrupulous profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 (a.k.a. Gary Turner) finally managed to find another mug punter buyer for the two-tone 7A38-727A yesterday morning. Yes, he re-sold it twice !Seiko7A38 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 2:01 pmBrazen profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 proved my prediction correct, when earlier this afternoon, he listed the ex-henzz1337 / goosefeather1 two-tone 7A38-727A on eBay again, with a typical greedy Buy-it-Now price of £395. There's no mention in the description of his having fitted a new battery, which is presumably all it needed. His action in having purchased it back from his previous buyer for 40% of what they paid him shows he is truly unscrupulous.Seiko7A38 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 9:36 amAnd this is where the travesty comes in. According to the eBay Purchase History it was bought by someone with an encrypted ID of z***0 - very likely hollizaak007.

Checking my eBay watching page, it looks like greedy profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 (a.k.a. Gary Turner) finally found a mug punter buyer for the two-tone 7A38-7280, which he purchased from German eBay seller henzz1337 in January 2022 for less than €175 Euros. It sold yesterday afternoon for £369.95Seiko7A38 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 7:51 am Yesterday evening, profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 listed two more two-tone 7A38's with typically greedily marked-up Buy-it-Now prices. Both come supplied with rather secondhand looking Seiko presentation boxes. Unless I've failed to spot any over the last 4 months, I believe these are the last two of a large number of 7A's he's purchased from German eBay seller henzz1337 during that period, though not in the order he acquired them.
Indeed, the 7A38-7280 which he's asking a risible £385 for is one of the first batch of three 7A38-728x's he purchased at the beginning of January, which for reasons best known to himself, he has held back until now.

.... and mentioned it in this post on the previous page. Note that he paid seller henzz1337 less than €175 Euros for it.

Checking my eBay watching page, it would appear that greedy profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 (a.k.a. Gary Turner) has finally found a mug punter buyer for his 7A38-7069. It sold earlier this morning for a slightly reduced £400.Seiko7A38 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 9:46 am Yesterday evening, profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 listed a two-tone 7A38-7069 in better than average used condition. Typically, his Buy-it-Now asking price is a laughably optimistic £425, which is more than double what you should realistically expect to pay for such an example of this relatively common US market model.

Was it really August 2021 when I wrote that about the gold-tone 7A38-7289 he'd just listed ? It seems that Gary Turner (a.k.a. profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007) hasn't learned anything in over 2½ years, because not only does that 7A38-7289 still remain unsold, but he's trying it on again with another common-or-garden gold-tone. At lunchtime today, he listed a well-worn gold-tone 7A38-7190 with a typically greedy, almost risible Buy-it-Now price of £325.
I'm not sure quite whether to believe my eyes. Finally, after over four years and one month, umpteen often weekly re-listings, greedy profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 (a.k.a. Gary Turner) appears to have found a mug punter buyer for his over-priced gold-tone 7A38-7289. It eventually sold yesterday afternoon, for a slightly reduced £300.Seiko7A38 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 7:31 pm He may have got lucky with that stainless 7A38-727A, but profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 clearly has much to learn about the comparative values of less popular Seiko 7A38's. Earlier this evening he listed this only average worn condition gold-tone 7A38-7289, with what appears to have become his standard Buy-it-Now price of £355 regardless.

Only needs another hundred knocking off before he might find a buyer then. 
Whoa !Seiko7A38 wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2026 1:08 pmUK eBay seller overtimegb is currently asking a ludicrous £795 for his average condition gold-tone 7A38-7000 SAA008J,
How come I didn't spot this before ?? This is another example of blatant exorbitant profiteering !!! 
Having previously allowed his gold-tone 7A38-7000 to slip by without passing comment, I decided it would probably be a good idea to retrospectively look into overtimegb's similarly over-priced stainless 7A38-7000. It was listed on April 12th, with a highly ambitious Buy-it-Now asking price of £695.Seiko7A38 wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2026 1:08 pmUK eBay seller overtimegb is currently asking a ludicrous £795 for his average condition gold-tone 7A38-7000 SAA008J, compared to 'only' £695 for his stainless 7A38-7000 SAA007J. But that's way overpriced too, IMHO.
