I have a current craiglist ad with gold, silver, and collectible wrist and pocket watches. Total price is 20% under ebay, all accurately described including damage, gold filled, working/non working, etc. For a quick sale due to this being part of my uncle's estate when one caller contacted me I told him take it all for XX which gave him another 15% off. With 4 gold watches, 3 gold filled, and two sterling watches I have identified so I was well prepared for any questions. Before he made a 2 hour drive to come look at them he asked for more pictures, so I spent another hour getting more pictures. He then texts me and says the gold watches "appear" to be gold filled. The 4 watches only come in those models as gold, two being white gold. I point this out. Poof, crickets. Haven't heard from him since. Had this happen when a friend asked me my opinion on a Movado watch, going price for that model was about $350. A watch collector stopped by as we were discussing it. I pointed out the watch, he asked how much. I mentioned its worth and that the owner was willing to haggle. He talks her down to $75 by claiming it wasn't sellable in todays market. Why do people have to be such con artists. I included the pictures of all I had listed so everyone could see.
