So I had this Connie 2782 in my watch list, a US only auction so I wasn't really planning a bid, but it looked like a real nice original example with a great flat-dome dial under all that muck and through those blurry photo's. Certainly one to get the Connie collector's juices flowing if it is as good in hand as suspected.

Anyway it ended on the 22nd October for $1200, which I thought a pretty good deal for the buyer and I didn't expect to see it again, certainly not so quick.

Until this evening, just 5 days later, now with a BIN of $2999. The seller says it has been serviced and has taken some way better photo's and it looks real nice.....although now for some reason I find it a much less attractive proposition and for the hell of me can't figure out quite why that is? 馃檮

That's a really nice one. Whether the quick revamp is worth $1799 or not... that's in the eye of the beholder.

The original price was decent considering the condition. The buyer took a bit of a chance due to quality of pictures.

The new price is ridiculous. I suppose the owner is trolling for offers, service or not.
