I have to admit to checking the date to see that it isn't 1st April. I think we'd all like to have thought of that one  I'd like to sell jars of Yorkshire air, but they'd be half full of water with the weather we're having at the moment.

If true, the bloke should be ashamed of himself. Complete con-man.

Why is he a con-man?
If true, he is selling a product as-advertised.
If true, his customers are morons.

He's a con man because he is playing on the stupidity of people. How he can live with himself, I don't know.

Raphael Nadal paid around $800,000 for a wristwatch.
Was he conned into buying it?
People with money - like myself - enjoy finding stuff to buy.

Raphael Nadel was conned into believing a watch could be worth that much  A fool and his money are soon parted- and some people have too much money, he should have bought two and got twice the amount of retail therapy.

Ah, a lively discussion. Just what I needed this rainy evening. James, can I rename this thread - perhaps to "The socio-economics of the con"? Whatever is said - and wherever it goes - I won't claim  .

If people are willing to pay it, I assume it's more for novelty.
Now a $800,000 wrist watch is a totally different thing. Mechanical hand crafted beauty.
I'd settle with an Oris Pro Pilot Cal 111 though.

We deliver. We do take-away.
We mostly take away - as in, take the money and run.
