When is an Ebay Auction not an Ebay Auction?

When it's from this guy:

Just thought it was interesting and reveals one of the more frustrating strategies as an Ebay seller.

There's some idiot who's been listing a Speedy Grail over and over for a year or two, at least. The listings always instruct buyers not to place a bid but to contact him directly, yada yada. His listings always get removed by eBay within a day or two and he just re-lists it again and again.

How about that pre-sale ? Not in stock item

I have not documented what I am about to decribe, but some of you may have seen this other "non-auction" Ebay policy violation . . .

A person lists a valuable watch, a "Jochen Rindt" 2446,a Carrera . . . or other watches of comparable value and the opening bid may be shown as $1.46.

In the body of the description, the guy says that he's selling the watch(es) for his boss and DO NOT BID.

Instead, go to this website !@#$%^.com and you may buy it for the "Buy it Now" price.

Usually there are a good number of such listings from the same guy with the same message and I usually report half a dozen of the listings and then he's gone for a while until he comes back with a new identity.

Call it a personality flaw. 😀

I can't let something like this go by when I see it.
