·Peru seems to be the Center of rare vintage Speedies in the moment. eBay churns out plenty in very short auction cycles from unknown sellers with mini feedbacks..... Who knew .
Speedmasters from Peru......

·Strange indeed... SASS = South American Sleeper Speeedmasters ? 😁
On the other hand, since 2001 during GTG, I have seen a lot of genuine ExtractofArchives with " Delivered to: Argentina " or " Delivered to Peru " ...

·PLEASE AVOID these eBay listings. These guys have been “selling” from Peru since the 2000s. I know the prices look attractive but you will part with your money and all you will receive is an empty package in the post.
Anybody with very low feedback, all relating to low value items and all recent and now selling many high value watches …. well you can guess.
By the way they have evolved over time and they do have watches so don’t be fooled when they provide additional photos when asked.

·Does the purchase also go through eBay's Authenticity Guarantee with purchase price held in escrow pending third party authentication?

·By the way, turns out if you send with UPS/DHL etc. - you get the money instantly on delivery, for untrusted sellers it's usually hold - since there was mentions of this guy selling other stuff, I guess it could be a way to build up that trust
So basically if these listings are scam, it would be eBay losing the money on refund, as the seller's payment will likely be unreachable to them
But I give people the benefit of the doubt, so I'm not saying these to act with prejudice against a person/seller I don't know, or discriminate against a country/zone, it's just an insight into the worst case scenario

·Well, Peru's a long way from anywhere: it's easy to see how a watch might get lost for a few years only to resurface.... NOT!

·And here’s another one - selling an Ed White, starting bid $100, total of 18 feedbacks and all as a buyer and 15 of which received within the last month. Photos always look the same and description always written the same - and all in Lima, Peru.

·I Know!! That’s the thing - as I mentioned earlier - they’ve evolved over time and do have the watches. Bought with the proceeds of their crimes. They clearly think they need to look as legit as possible - hence today’s newspaper!!

·… and it’s gone - listing removed after it ended. Not sure if it’s final bid price or if payment was made.
