Help with ebay?
Hi, I'm new to this and wondering if anyone can help me with a first-time rolex ebay purchase. I've got my sights on two different items:
"New" Air-King from 2007 http://www.ebay.com/itm/261197272608...84.m1438.l2648 White Gold Daytona pre-owned 2011-ish? z-series. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291034814181...84.m1438.l2648 They both look like reputable sellers to me, but just want to double check. They both have 14 day return policies, which is somewhat encouraging. Any thoughts? |

Man ebay is such an unreliable sales platform, you have no idea if that persons account is hijacked or if the seller decides to take your money and run even if they have great feedback.
Buy from trusted sellers on this forum, that is all i can say, i speak from experience.

You're clearly not ready to buy. Especially on eBay.
Take some time to clear your head about what you want, Focus on a line, and follow up with legitimate questions About real watches from known sellers. |

very different watches, perhaps wait a while and do so more research as these are two very different animals, the new airking is too expensive, you can get it for that price in a store i believe, no risk, at an authorised dealer,the seller looks ok but does not specialise in rolex, the daytona is a very nice watch, seller again ok. As a novice maybe buy from a trusted seller or AD to be safe that's my advice

Go to an AD (Authorized Dealer) and browse around and find a watch that you really like and then ask questions about it. I probably wouldn't buy it from the AD. Instead, I'd buy from one of the trusted sellers here on TRF. You'll save a ton of cash and will get a better deal then if you took a risk on ebay. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm zero-ing in on the Daytona. My wife has the rose-gold one and (very sad story) needs something in the white gold family to match certain rings, bracelets, etc... I bought the first Daytona from an AD. It's just too tempting to avoid the big mark-up. I'm focusing on this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261355162224...84.m1438.l2648 Same seller as before but it is supposedly unwrapped. That seems hard to beat.
