Parts Have Water Damage / Back and Forth with Seller
In Response To: Re: What a Disaster -- Spend $1,650 to De-Value a Watch ()

Seller has informed me that the original parts that were removed from the watch because the watch had suffered some water damage. Well, of all things . . . he must have forgotten to mention the water damage in the eBay listing.

More coming soon on my correspondence with the seller . . . it's just starting to get interesting!! Executive summary:

  1. Seller: so what do you think of this watch?
  2. Jeff: funny that you should ask . . . here's a blog posting I just did.
  3. Seller: please remove the photos; alleging copyright violation.
  4. Jeff: being used under "fair use" doctrine; do you really want me to post copyright notice and have your name associated with these photos / this auction?
My, my, my . . . the world's about the funniest place to be right now!!

Jeff
