I'm thinking I might sell my Speedmaster mark III 1040 cal on ebay. Any ideas of what I should ask for it? I's in excellent condition, all original except rotor which is replacement.
This sold $1275 in Jan http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-SPEEDMASTER-WATCH-MARK-III-176-002-STEEL-41-X-52-MM-CASE-SIZE-BLUE-1973-/171622141368?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item27f57a0db8&nma=true&si=tJgPP3X6cLIIOF%2BidHfLRPsXQXs%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Blue commands a slight premium, figure yours to sell around $1100, pay ebay 10% and net $1000 Also you may want to replace your perished rubber gasket before posting pics on ebay GLWS
I think $1200 is way too low, This one sold for a lot more (not on ebay but that shouldn't make any difference) https://omegaforums.net/threads/ome...rk-iii-176-002-caliber-1040-exceptional.3920/
Exactly this, $1, no reserve the better the pics you take the more bids you'll get. Don't freak out and worry it'll go low, its a vintage Speedmaster, even if its not a Pro there are eyeballs everywhere, you'll get market value or better.
Why be the ONE seller who lists a watch on an auction site as an actual auction? Be like everyone else! Put a Wanker's Reserve on it. That's where you advertise "NO RESERVE!," post a starting bid of $3,500, and keep re-listing it every seven days for three years. Or Do what the more helpful, less spiteful members have advised and let the market decide with a $0.99 starting bid.
Or you could avoid ebay parasites completely and post other places, at least then you will get most of the dough in your own pocket not ripoff bay....
