Please be very wary before bidding for expensive items on the site. I bid for an expensive watch that was boxed and had cellophane on the strap and appeared new. I obviously and naturally assumed it worked. I live in South Wales this auction was in Derby and was a postal delivery only. When the watch arrived it did not work. I took it to a watch repairer for advice and was told it has an irreparable fault and is in fact totally useless!. I contacted John Pye who said I have recourse as I should have viewed it in Derby (hundreds of miles from where I live). Even if I had viewed it there was cellophane on the strap so I couldn't have seen whether it worked or not anyway!. I have totally wasted my money on a misrepresented item that is not fit for purpose and is in fact total rubbish. In these particularly hard financial times it is disgusting that John Pye will not reimburse me for an item that was meant to be a present for my 86 year old Dad. Appalling!
