Can we make a sticky about posting stuff like this AFTER the auction ends?

Well it also gives an opportunity to people who haven't seen it...

Nothing flies under the radar on that website these days. A few years ago perhaps but not anymore.

In fact, it is full blown retail. I don't even look there anymore.

Agreed.....I miss the bargain days of old.

Normally I’d be with @ChicagoFrog about posting after, but Goodwill is extremely well looked at, and almost all interesting watches there fetch a premium due to assumed originality. There’s no way this would have slipped through the net, and it’s unlikely that listing here would make much difference.

For live eBay listings, bricks’n’mortar auction houses, and especially poorly described listings, then I’m 100% with Mr. Frog. And it’s even good form to leave a week or so before posting to avoid sharks cutting in.

Almost nothing...there are still mislabelled and mispelled watches out there..how often Jeager or onega........It also helps searching in the language of the country's website. For example HAU in Germany refers to Herrenarmbanduhr (gents wrist watch) . A lot of non English speakers here post watches up with only that in the title..no mention of watch so they never appear in the general listings!! ..That said, Germany is NOT a place for online bargains! lol

Argh.... This is being sold from Tucson. Up till 4 years ago I lived there my whole life. I'm still in Chandler, not too far away. It slays me to think that someone gave this to goodwill - I'm always on Craigslist, etc. looking to see what I can find. Unbelievable.

I don't think shop goodwill has any foreign sites.... eBay for sure but this thread wasn't about an eBay auction.

Why, so all your Speedmaster fellow collectors and members don't see it. You wouldn't want that would you 😲
