Depending on who it is, it only needs to have changed by 1 for the damage to have been done. We mustn't forget that these posts can be read by anyone, and experience has taught us that there are collectors/dealers out there who are too lazy, stupid, or ignorant (or, in the case of you-know-who, all three) to find worthwhile auctions for themselves but dig deep when one is handed to them on a plate.johnboy wrote:The watch count hasn't changed much recently...

I was planning to bid, but deeper pockets than mine will be needed. The watch count hasn't changed much recently and I agree with Reg that with good photos and a correct listing like this, it's always going to do well. That said, live listings are a no-no unless there's an issue of authenticity or something similar as far as I understand.

Re: Hot tip offs
As soon as my gut feeling was very active, I pulled the link from my posting to try and minimise the damage.

Re: Hot tip offs
its upto £633 with an hour to go - no idea who the top bidder is but i know the seller from facebook and have warned him about a certain buyer known for not as described refunds! After the reverse wrecker the enamel emerald Group 6 is more iconic than just about anything else so naturally its top of my wants list of Lesneys

Re: Hot tip offs
Yes mate I see that and that was the reason I never bid again as I knew you really wanted it, better luck next time mate.
Re: Hot tip offs
Yes, think back to a recent conversation somewhere else where you defended said refund claimant!tjlglass wrote:Can you elaborate on this Mick.SMS88 wrote:its upto £633 with an hour to go - no idea who the top bidder is but i know the seller from facebook and have warned him about a certain buyer known for not as described refunds!
