That's my new hobby,browsing through Ebay (Italian,UK,com) with just one buy till now (L' Uomo Trussardi).I have read all the positive comments about Unleaded and I would like to buy it,even without sampling it first.But the seller posts only in UK .
Anyway ,tha botlle must be acquired from one of US (= Basenoters) Â*.Is this a useful tip or is there a catch?

Yes that is a really good price. I don't understand what you mean by this, "Anyway ,tha botlle must be acquired from one of US (= Basenoters) Smiley.Is this a useful tip or is there a catch?"

I buy nothing off of ebay. There are too many stories of the seller filling the container with water.

I think it is, because on Ebay USA they are selling it for around $90-125, I will try and bid for it, as I live in the UK.

I mean that the bottle MUST be acquired by a fellow Basenoter,who can generally appreciate the specific fragrance.It is easy to find a hospitable place around here
:-)
Concerning the catch,I thought that this is probably a too good to be true price,considering the money asked for similar items in Ebay.

Nobody is bidding for it? I want to bid, but I am not sure if I really want it.

I already have some of this, but it's called a 'bracing skin scent' or something like that - is this the standard strength, or is there, say, and EDT version as well?

no thats the only one that exists. Just crazy marketing lingo, like how "liquid soap" becomes "body wash" and then "revitalizing all-over topical cleansing elixer"

The same bottle pops out,same seller,same price (14,95 GBP-relisted-zero offers the last time) and the difference is that the vendor now ships outside UK.But 8 GBP for shipping seems too much and the total amount makes this a risky unsniffed buy.
On the other hand,a bottle of DK men cologne has reached the 61 GBP/113.5 USD.Well,that's serious money!

First of all,let me clarify that I am not the seller of the product ,although you have every reason to believe it,becuse every time the subject pops and I am responsible!
This time ,from the same seller,there is a (relisted) bottle of DK FUEL (75 ml),starting from 30 GBP,no bids till now, two days and some hours left.Out of curiosity I watched the item and last week the auction ended with no bidder,the starting price then was 60 GBP.The seller does ship internationally,but the cost was steep.I was not decisive to buy even the (cheaper) bottle of Unleaded,this one is too expensive for my budget.
