    Take this with a pinch of salt, my gramma was fond of sayin ::facepalm2::

    Okay...
    44 bids, 17 bidders ... less than half of bidders have 10 or more feedback!
    Ebay admin has already yanked one bidder days ago.

    Does this look familiar, too familiar.... ?

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG][​IMG] thomaeschlema-0[​IMG]( 5 ) US $205.00

    price almost doubles in about 12 hrs...and still, under 500 ::psy:: hahahaha

    At first I would mention that there is still the original period correct buckle installed. These alone fetch around 100 USD these days when in good condition. Furthermore the automatic Flagships with caliber 3xx usually came with sweep second. Small second at 6 six (cal 350) is quite unusual. I hope the ebay crowd will value these points. If you are afraid they don't, maybe OF is a better place to sell. It's a gorgeous Flagship GLWYS Spencer!

    Well, less than 15 hrs to go. Didn’t end it so likely too late now. ::stirthepot::

    I think it'll be okay. A lot of people wait until the last couple hours to bid.

    I'm usually a 'watcher' (no pun intended!), too, until the very end!

    GLWS, Spencer :thumbsup:

    Things now seem a bit nuts....

    1019 views
    78 watchers (so - 3 last check)
    51 bids - looks to me bidders are not sure what to do, or don’t have a price in mind. But again, will see
    51 bids and price is still much less than the connie also on auction. As said, a few pinches of salt over the shoulder

    Not too concerned anymore as therapy has worked....way less anxiety lol

    Thank you @dougiedude @efauser @Jhh834 @yako54 .... appreciate your feedback

    Some will win, some will lose, some of us just sing the blues. :whistling: It goes on and on and on......

    hang in there Spencer, these Ebay "let 'er rip" auctions can be stressful, just keep your head down and stay in your fox hole for 10 more hours. The "Sharps" won't let this one go cheap, its too nice.

    How many times have I heard said on this forum, " Put it on ebay with no reserve and it will fetch market value."?
    Pour yourself a G&T and relax.

    $1025 with less than 2 hours to go. I guess you're feeling better, Spencer.

    Guess it’s good all round, experiencing what I can’t stand LoL

    For the longest while (just seemed ages) the Flag stuck below $400, Ebay pulling a bidder, but now it’s um, higher than this

    Things do change in the waning moment so maybe you’re correct @efauser .....

    10 fewer bidders than when I started to um , get a wee bit anxious lol but that’s ok, cool... levelling out perhaps!

    No matter how it ends @yako54 is totally correct — this is a fantastic Longines Flagship....gonna miss it.

    Thanks guys — ya’ll a cool bunch!!!

    Appreciate the tolerance of my moanin !!

    :thumbsup:
