How to verify a seller
Before you do anything it is good to get a phone number at their place
of business along with the main business number of his place of
business. Then, call the place of business and verify his
position and title. VPs, CEOs, etc are all believable owners of
5970s; guys at the bottom of the food chain are less likely (unless
they got in early and have lots of options).
I don't have any experience selling, but if I were to sell, I'd go to
the bank where the buyer got his cashier's check and ask the bank to
verify that they issued it. Then, I'd exchange it in
person. When we're talking about something that expensive, there
is no excuse not to do the transaction in person.

More strange collectors market activity...
I believe that alexxs, is the same person as Turboale... Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
there is something intriguing...
... the guys claims that its his watch, bought in 2004, and still double sealed... AND its comes like 24h after a guy posts a "Want to buy" a 5070R. Simple coincidence? K.
He's a scammer...
He claims his name is Alex Shen in an email he sent me. He also gives a NY cell number. The guy is ridiculous. But listen people unwillingly wire tens of thousands of dollars across the globe for these watches, you always get these predators. Again, he is...
thanks for the look out!!

But can you stop this crap ? Can't the person make a new login every 5 minutes ?
you can track his IP...
he will have to use cyber cafes... no more connecting from the same spot. Anyway, as we said before, there is no fullproof system. All we can do is keep our eye open. Most of us won't fall for this, the danger is for newcomers. I am astonished at how much...
This is ridiculous
I just looked at the CM and noticed the same thing. Its a real shame that this guy is tarnishing the CM and its real sellers. I talked on of my friends out of a transaction with this seller. The seller used refs that would have worked for Turboalex and pa...

i think that improvement should be more global...
.... and not jst target a category of ppl. There are people that herited or received a watch as a present, or retired ppl, etc... There is all kind of people that might genuinely want to sell a watch. This kind of check up might offense people without bei...
On a transaction that big
I would never accept a bank check. I have found the best way is to meet in person at my bank which has a private room for good clients. I would then put the watch back in the safety deposit box and go to that persons bank and have a bank wire sent. I woul...
It can be hell or heaven...
Reading your post convince me even more of the business opportunity there is for PuritsPRo to be handle the transaction ( like i described above ). Some ppl can handle a transaction as you've mentioned, and honestly, when we are talking about expensive wa...
