ebay Monaco, item 251177264188

FAO T*****s B*****y ebay Monaco 251177264188

So, browsing French ebay the other day i came across 'your' interesting Monaco in the 'small ads' section @ €4400.
Location, Saint-Etienne, France.

I completed the inline contact thingy in French asking you if the watch is still available etc.

You then replied in French saying that you're actually English, living in Manchester and that the watch is available.

Hmmm, Ok, I replied as we're both Brits lets continue in English.

Back came some great photos showing a lovely watch with TAG service history etc etc plus a seemingly complex way of completing the deal...I quote -

"Thanks for your returning message. The watch is located in Manchester, and the price including delivery is: 4400 EUR. For the delivery and payment I wish to use a professional transport company. You will see here how it works.
The transport company will manage and intermediate our sale. I will prepare and safely pack it for the delivery and I'll consign it to the company, after paying for all the fees upfront. Then you then must make the payment to the transport company and they will deliver the package to your home address. From the arrival date you will have 10 days inspection period to check and approve the product. Upon this period you can accept or decline the purchase, if you decide to decline - a full refund will be processed. (All shipping return costs will be for me to cover).
Please let me know if you agree to these conditions and send me your full address so I may look for the possibility of delivery."

To save any delay I suggested that rather than go through the above, why don't I just get my Manchester based cousin to meet you and do the deal face to face.
Strangely you've now stopped replying to my emails.

Is there a problem?
:-)
