Thank you for sharing the details of your experience! Most people would never share that on the internet. They would be too embarrassed or some other self reflecting feeling. Yet, for someone like me who is new enough to know I am a noob and do not know what I am doing, it is a window into the reality that we all face trying to collect anything of value (be it watches, cars, stocks, etc). People we try to scam you at every level. The best thing to do it tread safely, do your research ahead of time, be ready with funds, and be prepared for a few bad experiences that come with some amazing finds during your hunt.
