Gets play on Hodinkee and goes nuts for final price. Ha! Hope it was Kyle's @kyle L http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEN-039-S-O...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I always feel sad for the bidders when Hodinkee posts one of their "What's selling where" articles. You just know that a mob of frothing hipsters will come and spoil it for everyone else Good news for the seller, however!
I found one of mine on Hondinkee a couple of days ago. (before I traded it with a Omega) I'm not up to scratch on vintage Heuers but this came to me in trade, anyone know much about these? 3rd watch down. http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/whats-...peedmaster-2998-5-a-tropical-dial-daytona-and
extremely nuts, especially as Eric Wind explicitly wrote it up as an "under $1000" piece. oh well, you know what they say: a fool and his money are soon parted in exchange for a pretty ordinary wristwatch in indifferent condition.
The Memovox in that same piece is about to make stupid money http://www.ebay.com/itm/161517764098?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network EDIT: $5000 in 97 bids.

Well, i sold one and bought one on this post from Hodinkee. CVW did not raise prices after this article, very cool of him. The one I bought is arriving this afternoon, i will post it up here. The one i sold is this GP Compax.
I read the same article, and I've been obsessively checking CVW ever since. Amazing just to see what he has, and how fast some of the "new listed" items are also marked "sold"! I get out to KC about once a year ... I know where I'm headed right after getting some barbecue!
Ha, lol, I called him also and tried to buy the bracelet off one of the watches in the article. Sold already. He said he will keep an eye out though. Seems like a nice guy
