Does wearing it around my house before selling it to him count?

[LEDluvr]

I wish this seller could be a little more upfront about the condition of this watch. Is it mint, almost mint... for example, has it ever been worn??

[retroleds]

Looks like a nice piece but that price is pretty steep for a gold filled, even a s.s.(rarer,IMO) would be hard pressed to get 3/4 of what he is asking,even if it was straight off the assembly line. He is threatening to keep it .

[CompuChron]

Yeah he will keep its Hamilton for a long time!
400£ that about 800$! You can get some nice led watches for that price.

I`m slightly put off now hes changed the description to only one "unworn".

[rewolf]

I tried to read the description but was so distracted by the bold red capital lettering that I gave up after 3 lines.
I simply hate being shouted at
We already discussed this seller and his selling practices .... it's his style, it does not appeal to me (and many others), but he DOES find buyers - different ones than the usual "high end" LED sellers perhaps...

[retroleds]

Uh Oh, we've pissed him off badly!! Says he wants to give all of us a "Glasgow kiss"? Is he talking a bomb, a really nasty fart, or some kind of man-love thing?

He has been relegated to lurking for some time now due to multiple personality disorder.

Thats not very friendly is it.. , for all our non Scottish members out there a "Glasgow Kiss" is a headbutt, see here - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Glasgow+kiss

[retroleds]

Oh, that's funny. We just call them a "head butt", or some of us Americans of a certain age group might call them a "Coco Butt" - in reference to wrestler(the fake stuff, for entertainment, before they had WWF) Bobo Brazil, who was famous for his "Coco Butt".

I was a master at taking a butt to the forehead when I was a kid, that might explain some things.

And they wonder why I get short-fused.....

this watch really hasent been worn its still got the brush finish to it it was in my grand fathers vault he bought two wen he was a bus driver in canada so can you please shut down that page as you wont tell me on the watch form but i was offered 300 and turned it down the watch is that good

[To which I responded...]
Listen f-khead - I've had to deal with two John Gibbs and one Gary Gibb and I've no more patience with it. John(1) and Gary say they are father and son, the other John(2) told me he isn't related to the other Gibbs, but subsequently had me mail a watch to Gary's [alleged] father John(1), who seems to share the address with Gary. Every watch I sold these "Gibbs" was subsequently listed on ebay, at the same or more) in GBP as what was paid in USA dollers. E.G. I'd sell a Bulova for $200, it would be relisted for 200 GBP. Much as I enjoyed the business of selling the clan 20+ watches, I have grown tired of the intrigue. The auction descriptions are ludicrous, the continued uppercase letters are considered YELLING on the Internet, and this tale of finding them in grandfather's vault....I certainly believe that a Scottish bus driver, working in Canada, would spend his hard earned money on two high-end digital watches - NOT!! I am responding to your mails, which come to my SPAM folder, simply because I figure sooner or later you will give up. Seems like you would need a Glasgow kiss from an aluminum cricket bat to go away.

STOP CONTACTING ME!!!

Are these Gibbs related to the Bee Gees in any way?

Now think what you want, but the auction ended with "Buy It Now" for 400 GBP. Not too bad if it's true!
And somehow magically the lettering has become smaller (but still capital) and grey instead of red...
