Ebay must stop the frauds or die

Stop squinting and read it again.

Being Asian, I find your statement highly prejudicial.

Well, you have to admit, the chinks do lend themselves to it.


In all fairness I think it's a question of culture maybe. They feel
that if someone is gullible enough to go for it that makes it somewhat
OK. They are selling SOMETHING and it's up to the buyer to be sure of
what is being bought. Here in NYC you can buy a Rolex for $30 in
Chinatown and the comments you get are good watch, very good watch, you
will like this watch, a number one watch. I've never heard this is a
genuine Rolex fell off a truck. So someone buying one of those Rolex's
at under 1% retail shouldn't feel taken. Then I can recount of being
approached several times on the street by some would be salesman with a
Rolex in a box with papers and stickers and a story...this rolex was
purchased by my 'friend' with this credit card and here is the
receipt...it's yours for $300 let's go to an ATM. Well, there's a whole
bunch of problems with this BUT do you really think someone running this
scam at 10% would do so with a real Rolex anyway, of course not just a
flashier looking copy. If you had a stolen credit card I am sure that's
the best you could do buy a $5,000 watch and sell it for a pittance.
This is an ATM rip off scam you never get the pretty watch anyway. So I
think these guys on ebay are like the first seller here not the second,
but I haven't seen the auctions in question maybe the representation of
the items cross the line.

While on a business trip to NYC in 2000, I purchased a Rolex from a
gentleman in Times Square for $16. I'm not sure, but it may not be
genuine. har har

Even at that friendly semi-annual coin bourse down the road at the VFW
lodge across
from the church in East Kumquat, I bet there's a fake SVDB...

Being a VFW member, I find your statement highly prejudicial.

I don't hold the VFW responsible for any mischief perpetrated by non-members
conducting business on its premises, nor did I imply that I do.

Thank you for your service to our country, BrotherBart.

I call em as I see em -

You paint with a rather large brush, Jesse. Asia is a huge territory. I
would agree upon the counterfeit coins point, and would add ripped-DVDs to
the list. But there are some Chinese sellers with good deals on China-only
merchandise.

[...] If any USA based seller tried that on the same
scale, they'd have the Secret Service knocking down their door quicker
than you can say ****.

Not if the USA citizen was selling counterfeit antique Chinese money. See
how it works?

My gosh, that's 300% retail! You can find a fake Rolex for about $11 and the
middleman is making 50%. Funny how they are still better than a Timex. Use
them for the life of the battery then throw it away.

A little research would have shown you that it should have been marked
"Roleks", like the real one I had to pay $35 for.
