Dishonest eBay seller, relichhunter724.

[Thomas]

Hello folks,

I just wanted to make you aware of an eBay seller, relichhunter724, who seems to be dishonest.

He has a older Seiko "High-Beat" Grand Seiko on auction, that has already been bid up to US US$565.00

I noticed that in the description he calls it a "6145-8000" but that the dial is from a 6146-8000, and the movement also has the day and date. Yet the case back is from 6145-8000.

And with statements like "The original movement in this wristwatch is automatic 6146A", I thought I would point out that his listing is not very honest.


*** My message to him *****************************

Details about item: cincicurator sent a message about THE 1'st "GS" of "HI-BEAT AUTO　GRAND SEIKO　6145-8000 1960's Cup Gold #251765481487

Uh, your listing says it is a 6145, which is a date only model, but the dial and movement are from a 6146, the day/date version.

So I guess the case-back is from a different watch, don't you think you should mention this in your listing??

Not a very honest listing...

*** His first response ****************************

Dear cincicurator,

Thanks for the heads up. Whoever buys the watch is looking at the pictures of the watch, movement, dial, back cover, etcetera.

*** His second response ***************************

Dear cincicurator,

I re-read you message and just noticed that you are calling me dishonest, only one nut case from Ohio that want it a partial refund and now you have done that.

I uploaded close up pictures of the whole watch so that should describe the watch better than words, the title and description means nothing.

I found a similar watch that sold and used the same title and some of the description, I know nothing about Seiko watches nor I care to know, to me they are garbage.

You are probably one of those people that look for mistakes on listings to get partial refunds and to me those people are dishonest. You have yourself a good day.

Regards,

Ebed

Ha! He steals the title and description from someone else's auction, claims that the title and description text in an auction "means nothing", and wants to call me dishonest. :-D

I would avoid this seller if I were you.

Some ebay sellers are not so much dishonest as not knowledgeable of the product they are selling. Those seem to respond to suggestions from those more familiar with the product being offered. JMHO.

Frankly anone selling items over $500 needs to get engaged. The seller is responsible to either say "buy at own risk" or accurately describe and own every single written word. This garbage of "pictures are really the legal description" always makes me highly skeptical. Suggests may be a scammer to me, but not always.

In an ideal world, your suggestions would be operative, but we know we do not live in that world.

Didn't ebay have some qualification that pictures could not replace correct descriptions?

I don't of that I would consider this guy as dishonest but probably just another lazy seller.
