does this seller seem fishy?

I was looking for a certain watch - and this seller had one -
then I checked out the seller - and seems VERY strange -
only 35 feedbacks, mostly for cheap stuff -
now has 142 high-end watches for sale, all with stock photos - not even the same theme to the photos like most sellers do.

http://myworld.ebay.com/lauras_gems_llc/

Don't worry - I'm not buying from "lauras_gems_llc"
but I'm sure some poor soul will....

Only buy if you are able to lose all of your money---this is a scam.

I stand corrected - they did send a pic of the breitling I want -

however - can't send one with their name or the box/papers in the pic.

I doubt they have the watch on hand. Even if legit store, sounds like the usual model where they don't have inventory but will source once people pay the money.

Hmm I called and a lady answered the phone. I asked if they were available for drop ins and only got an appointment only response. Seems to me the can supply after you pay much like a broker. Your call.
