I saw John Travolta wearing one of those in an advertisement. It made me want to never wear a watch again.

My 2 cents. If the guy is dumb enough to think he's buying a $30k watch for $1.5k, he probably deserves to be screwed....pure darwinian selection. On the other hand, if you're intentionally screwing the guy by advertising that you're selling a Breitling but not stating it's a replica, then you deserve to be screwed too.

I have a friend who is a higher up on ebay, I should report you.

I hope this is your auction.

1400 dollar fake.

His location says CA instead of DE..... .but he may have just changed it to protect himself...???

a quick look at his prior posts and he posts a fair amount in the SOCAL section so that auction is clearly not his

Damn dude, you've had so many f'n screw ups in the past month I really have to wonder if your mentally disabled. I've never seen such a disregard for personal responsibility. Are you sure you're not Paris Hilton incognito?

Jail time really needs to be in your future.

I can't see how you justify selling a fake as the original. You named the manufacturer so it is assumed to be real, not fake. I would sure hope both ebay and Paypal could give you a proper spanking if he complains!

That is unfortunate that it is not his auction because the winner was a scammer. So instead of this dufus being scammed some other poor schmo is getting scammed.

Ok, I found it.

real scammer auction.

jumba28 seems to otherwise sell honestly. Just goes to show you never know who you are dealing with.

This is a real insult, "Watch is a 2004 model and I heard this watch can be used by aircraft pilots as well". You want someone to use a POS fake to navigate their plane with?" At least most of the world uses GPS and wouldn't use a watch.

this totally sounds like a federal charge for fraud since the watch is going into another state...i guess i'm correct on that but either way your setting yourself up for nothing good

i agree, there was one occasion where I sold some good software that was given for free at an invite only seminar. Even the the software was licensed and un-used, the purchaser threw a fit, tried to blackmail me, and threatened to contact microsoft and amazon. I told him to go #### himself and to send me the software back so I could refund him and that was the end of it. I would just return the money and keep the watch because you have just scammed someone.
