Possible ebay scam?

I was browsing the web for a 1675 GMT master Root Beer.

As always, I check HQ miltons website for a Root beer, they end up having one for sale.

I checked ebay and saw the same watch for sale but a different seller, HQ is from San Fran and the ebay seller is Arizona.

Is there a possible scam going on?

It could be that the ebay seller also gave the watch in consignment to HQ, considering his network.

Car dealers here in Belgium also move cars from lot to lot when it doesn't sell fast enough. They make space for a new car, and get different eyes on the car with a higher probability for a sell.

Never the less, it is good to inquire with both parties before purchasing if interested

If it is on consignment that gives you a good sense of HQ's markup considering the ebay seller is going to loose another 13% after auction.

Found out it was sold to them but still showed up on HQ's site.

About a year ago, ED Marshall's here in Scottsdale had the nicest, cleanest, sharpest Rootbeer I'd ever seen on a jubilee no-less for around $7,000.
