I thought it worth pointing out on the false ebay listing that

- the top half of the listing blurs and doubles.
- if you read the shop info you can call them 'Tool free' ( i assume they cant spell Toll free )
- the theifs cut and paste skills seem to lack precision - many of the headings seem to be cut off, cutting headings first few letters off the left hand margin

My final point here is a question. If some poor eBay user purchased and then paid for this item using paypal, exactly how much protection are they afforded?

: after watching ebay for some years, we are not surprised to see a
: crook steal an auction listing (as we saw with Stewart's NOS
: Monaco). it's interesting that if the thieves would steal the
: auctions from more common watches, which are less memorable,
: maybe there would be less chance of detection (but also lower
: profits).

: Here is something even more outrageous: Thieves stealing an entire
: website from one of the leading vintage Rolex dealers, listing
: all the amazing watches for sale by the thief. Here is the
: Worldly Watches website , operated by the wonderful gentleman
: Stephane Medam.

: And here is the stolen version of the website, called
: Vintage-Watches.com . Notice that the thief not only steals the
: listings of the watches; he even steals the brief biography that
: Stephane has provided regarding his background and interest in
: watches. The audacity is shocking! I suppose that with the first
: sale of a $30K watch, the development costs of the stolen
: website are covered.

: It can get scary out there . . . got to be careful, as a buyer and
: as a seller.
