Ed White on eBay

I will make a prediction. This will go for $11,000 plus. The stem issue is most likely simple to fix. The ding in the bezel not a disaster, the bezel still looks real good. It is a solid watch.

My prediction machine tells me it will go for more than $11,000, but not plus. 😁

Still. ... .After a quick search here on OF for Ed Whites, here’s what seems to be here on offer ..... Doubt there’s any amount of drool for these (or Any behind the scenes price negotiations for these gems....Is there?

So what is it...Why aren’t these EWs on OF ‘snapped up already?

No hunt?

No adrenaline?

No ...... whatever.. [ fill in your rationale ] ?

No anonymity? You don’t need to tell everyone on OF you bargained hard, or purchased 😉

I get low offers every now and then and it’s not an insult [ to me ]. What did someone else say....THIS IS AMERICA ... though many OF members are not US based hahaha. So...bargain if that’s your thing 🍿

There is anonymity eBay seems to offer - price gets bid up without bidder intention to actually buy....that happens...

WHATEVER it is, leaves much to be desired on buyers / bidders Who are in the OF family....So ... glad this is a hobby for me......Although it is a concern though I’m not eating off these sales. Some could be. I love the hunt like the other guy, but at some point it should be easy to see some of these watches are much better that what is being chased on eBay......and yes, I don’t know the intentions ... of anyone...but this looks too funny not to mention ....

Well .... maybe OF should offer a new FS section For bidding ... where we can only bid? Not my preference. Or just stay as you are OF...cuz we love you and we love being able to enhange information for those who remember this or that..... Carry on smartly

Come on, the watch on ebay has a lot of "barn find" character, because the crystal is scratched. Wealthy buyers like this feeling of buying something nobody noticed and making a bargain... 😁

Generalize much?

JohnSteed

Lots of wealthy guys here ...

ChicagoFrog

I don’t know what the magic sauce is. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The magic sauce? For me it's this one:
