I am at a loss on how someone can drop this kind of money on something on ebay...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PATEK-PHILI...062251078?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2ed03e7a46Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

Am I also wrong in thinking at that price they can at least cover shipping?
... maybe my monday morning coffee starved brain is just having a hard time this morning, either that or I have a regular guy's wallet.

 

This particular seller a known vintage dealer.

So, sure!

 

And loads of happy clients as well?

I seriously doubt many people would send $850,000 through Paypal and eBay. It's a dealer who's advertising his watches on eBay, but will sell them through his brick & mortar store to avoid the fees.

 

I would have to assume that eBay is being used as a tool to advertise this piece. At 850k for a watch I'm sure the buyer will fuel up his plane to go pick it up in person.

 

That's Charile S's trade in

 

WINNER!

 

Warlock Time ;-)

 

Where's the fun in a tourbillon you cannot see through the dial???

 

Sure you can see it...........just below the moonphase

 

Note to self: airbrush "Tourbillon" on the face of all my watches and sell for 1000x going market price.

 

Just to make sure, add "minute repeater", too.

 

OMG thats expensive. I think I would rather go with a new 911 with a trunk full of watches instead. But thats just me.

 

You and I are on the same page!
