    He's sold mostly £10 Apple vouchers and, apparently, one Hublot fusion for £4100

    No.

    Stock pic and by the looks of it the others were taken in a boutique.

    Donate to Julia's House Hospice instead. £35 for Christmas would be most welcome.

    Ta.

    Do you seriously need to ask?

    Nah, I wouldn't risk it. Too many bidders with only 1 stars and same again with what's been sold. That coupled with only 18 stars rating and the account only being opened since September just seems too risky on that amount of money. Tony-GB has also made a good point about the pics too.

    well I wouldn't have the minerals for it...but it does say returns accepted within 14 days, presumably "covered" by ebay if it went the way of the pear....

    I'm always very wary of high value items which are described as "New without tags" on eBay - A brand-new, unused and unworn item that is not in its original retail packaging or may be missing its original retail packaging materials (such as the original box or bag). The original tags may not be attached. For example, new shoes (with absolutely no signs of wear) that are no longer in their original box fall into this category. Why would you have a genuinely brand new and never worn PP, but without any box or paperwork?

    Plus the Nautilus is by far the ugliest watch that Patek have ever produced - it looks like something that Casio have rejected. But that's just my opinion :-)

    I do like the nautilus, it has a certain something. But that on ebay? No way.

    Just had a look at your wife's website. What a worthy cause. I tend to give to GOSH but will bung a few quid your way :)

    With regards to the PP, it might be a safer bet to insert £7K into the bottom of a camel, slap it's arse and then chase it across the tundra, all the while, pulling £50 notes from it's rectal passage. At least this way, you'll be sure to get some of your money back.

    Donated. Kudos to your wife.

    I would have thought someone selling a genuine 5711 would know that the list price is just under £18,000 and not £13,000 as stated.

    Ah the flexibility of the English language.

    In eBaystan, "authentic" now seems to mean a convincing copy, or faithfully reproduced.

    Most unfortunate - unless youre selling tat out of Guandong, that is.


    Would also help if the seller could spell Patek Philippe (although Patek Phillipe might be a 'ninja' brand like Rorex, Breitring and Onega)

    Thanks Dave and Bernard - the wife will be over the moon!

    She's got her annual fundraiser ball tomorrow night at Dunstall Park, Wolverhampton and hopes to raise around 20k which will be absolutely great if it's achieved.

    Suzi Perry is hosting the event; she's a trustee and an absolute gem - totally hands on with the charity and obviously now she's a bigger profile, she's doing her utmost to spread the word and raise more money.

    I must also mention my mate and former Wolves legend, Steve Bull, who is also a Trustee and equally involved.

    It's a fantastic charity and the beneficiaries equally so........

    One little girl with Leukaemia only asked for a hamster.
