Craigslist BLNR?

[derekhayden]

I always look on various sites for watches during lunch. Today I stumbled upon a BLNR for $5K on Craigslist. This seems a little suspect to me since that's about 3 to 4K lower than what I usually see. I clearly don't trust Craigslist but if the seller can meet at my local AD for verification would that be acceptable? I would never send anyone money before verification since I can't buy the seller in this case. I am not holding my breath because this seems like a deal waaaaay to good and you know what they say. I am a new member so I can't post links but this is advertised as a full box set and warranty cards as well. Opinions?

Cheers

If it seems too good to be true, it usually is!

Check out this string I saw one same type. These ads are prob scams and appear all over

I wonder how they pull off the scam ?
But not curious enough to try.

Yeah there is no surprise I didn’t get a response when I told them I would only meet at my jeweler to authenticate. After doing some more searches I found several posts in different areas with the same watch pictures.

It always is...

Most likely scam. Everyone will tell you to buy the seller and not the watch.

I have contacted that same ad in Houston twice and got no response.

BLNR's in multiple larger metro areas on CL for 5k. Its a total scam. They also post gold presidents & SS Sub's for far below market value & they want paypal

Sorry guys, you've given them what they were looking for. Valid email addresses. Expect more scams to hit your inbox in the future.
