eBay seller does a PSA?

I’m not sure what the point of this listing is- is he offering to buy the watches for the prices he is stating (which are not based in reality)?
Does he think he is educating people looking for comps of a watch they want to to sell as a PSA (Public Service Announcement) so they don’t get taken? I am assuming the images were all cribbed from the web.
I am truly bewildered by this:

Bizarre. Maybe he sold something cheap without knowing it’s true value and now he’s broadcasting like a jilted lover.

My urologist is the only one who I allow to do a PSA.

So he’s ramping up his own hype to sell watches for far more than they are actually worth.


Ben...is that you, Ben?

But did you see his other ad? He has a 1969 Camy listed for AU $165k (about £90k). Now, much as I like 70s divers, I remain to be convinced that relatively obscure models, no matter how charming or rare (scarce?) are worth as much as a nice new 911...

Cheeky beggar is even asking £25 postage!

AUD ... is that like JPY? ;-)

I tried to send the seller a message to thank him for making such a great listing, but eBay wouldn't let me. I've never had a problem sending a message before. 😕

Lol funny because I was just about to list my remaining Felca Seascoper III. Not for $120K tho even though it's got a double signed dial. ::stirthepot::

This guy's listings have been around for a while. He's obviously trying to pump the value of some obscure 70s divers in order to achieve inflated prices on whatever he has to sell.

I tried too. Looks like he's checked some box on eBay that says "No messages." This is the response I got:

Unfortunately due to the high volume of messages this seller receives, they are unable to respond to questions right now.

I don't think he's trying to pump up the value of anything; he's just certified looney-tunes.
