Well selling my Rolex on EBay was a bit of a disaster even though I was prepared to rebuff lots of scammers

Today was the last day and I received a high bid this morning from a username with no history ie a big fat (0) after his/her name and when I looked the account had just been set up

I thought I had put controls on who could bid which is usually no one with less than 5 feedback

So I cancelled the bid with the reason 'no history'

Then a second bid came in after that to the same amount £2,700 from another brand new account

So I cancelled that as well

Then I get a message from the next highest bidder who was now the highest bidder at £2,500 saying he suspected I was 'bidding up' to get the price raised and said if won it could I please cancel his order

I replied that I would and he did end up winning it at £2,500

So I messaged him after he had won it asking if I should cancel his order

He replied yes but if I wanted to sell at £2,100 he'd be interested

I politely thanked him for the offer but cancelled the order

So it looks like I might have to keep the Explorer 2 after all

Might investigate getting a dial and hand replacement as its the tritium model with no lume

Ah well
