Some advertisers need really some help. If you are going to try to sell a high end watch on ebay there are some unwritten rules to follow.

Take this one for example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-President-...QQcmdZViewItem

List of don't:
- Don't start with a lusty picture if you are trying to sell a Rolex.
- Don't start your advertisement with a threat.
- Only offer the serial number only to the winner.
- Don't advertise a datejust as a president.
- Don't provide blurry dark pictures.
- Don't have gum wrappers and chapstick as the background of your picture.
- Don't have a women stripping as part of the advertisement.
- Don't steal magazine pictures and put them in your advertisement.

Ok, I feel better now.

Where the hell is the Rolex in the picture of the "stripper"?

What about the OEM bracelet for an extra $100?

A. Jacobs · 8 February 2007, 03:19 PM

I can't believe people are actually bidding on that auction.

davor · 8 February 2007, 03:30 PM

yea the pitch is awful...btw is that watch a folex???

Nice. He's photo-whoring his little sister to sell his watch.

Another one that 'gets' me is when an eBay "business" spends all their available space attempting to convince you of their legitimacy (usually in large, garish text) but at the end of the trail, they have a hotmail, gmail or yahoo Paypal address. Using email addys from those providers is akin to having the bags packed and parked next to the front door...

that guy has BAD luck... Jeese.

Talk about a pity sale. I bet it goes for $700.

The bracelet looks to be about 1mm too narrow at the endlinks, but what the heck I'd buy this watch just to meet the sellers sister

jimcameron · 8 February 2007, 07:14 PM

What watch? Oh, yeah, I see it now.

Welshwatchman · 8 February 2007, 11:28 PM

What a loser, that seller!

The camera was far happier snapping his 'sister' than the Orlex, though.

Went into focus all of a sudden, just like I did.

I Seen That Hand Holding The Rolex Somewhere Else, Especially The Gold Wedding Banded Hand.

Some people deserve to be shot

My very first DJ had a silver dial. The guys pics are not clear, but it looks like the watch is legit minus the 18mm president band. I would need clearer pictures to decide. The chapter ring around the dial is genuine Rolex style and hands.

Some numb nut "bought it now". Talk about shearing sheep!
