Did a member here snatch this one up! On one of my saved searches and was listed between time I had just refreshed the search. I estimate the listing did not last 10 minutes at the incredible BIN price.

I did -


Not get it!

But it was a score for someone.

 

How about this one? A living example of how a haphazard image may be worth more than a thousand word. AUD 400, actually. No one, ever, mentioned anything about the bracelet in this ad:

First time on ebay, it did not get the initial price (AUD 50) covered.

It was offered as a Geneve f300 with the following text:
Vintage Omega watch needs a new battery maybe a collectors item.
see attached photos .

The second time around, the seller dropped in a battery and had this to say

I took the initiative and went to a creditable watch repairer and was told that further work would be required.
He said that the calipers would need to be replaced and that it would cost me around $350.00 plus.
He showed me a repair catalogue and pointed out that if I sent it to Omega it would be $900
There is a new battery installed and the watch has that beautiful humming sound hence the second hand is moving but hour and minute arent
I am glad I did this because I dont want to sell a watch without pointing out a defect.
I am now offering this watch as in need of servicing

This second time he got AUD 400. The seller must still be scratching his head...

 

Heresy!
