Hmmmm, this is interesting...I mean, how many bootlegs would put their phone number on the back...?

I'm leaning towards not buying it however, or at least, only buying it cheap. I got some other private sales on the go all over the place anyways. On the plus I know I could always sell it and get my money back. The fact niyachan told me he doesn't know what it is baffles me. I'll wait and see how it goes.

I may score these though if I pass on the watch. And yes mattbellamy, you will get your money at the end of the month heh.

Both from the Paris signing. I'm making the guy wait a long time for my offer. When I make a deal with someone outside of ebay it usually takes me about 3 days to reply to any email if I don't know the person. Trust me it always helps get you a better price as they'd usually rather take your offer then take another week to get 2 more emails trying to squeeze more money out of me. That's my tip for the day :wink:

TSi please brush up on your German and call that number for me and see if they ever sold MG watches to Konami Europe. Thanks a ton man I appreciate it.

damn i want that MGS2 signed =P (esp after i lost that MGS2 substance to u)

and for the watch, wow, once u turned to the back, it looks very very cheesy. with a phone number on it?

i swear, a professional watch company will never put their number on their watches. (but of course, tats what i think, maybe i havent seen enough companies do this)

The seller seems quite adamant it's real...so I donno. I'm gonna submit a low enough offer if I win it, I can recoup my funds if not happy with it. About the signed games, I don't have any in gold pen so hopefully things work out. I got a couple other items on the go but but we're quite a ways away on price.

i dunno what this whole fake thing is about, but i've not heard prior that it is a fake item at all.

it's common for companies that have several offices around the world to "officially" license merchandise from their own region. hence, i would say that this watch was contracted to be made by konami europe, yada yada.
