I hate that shit- they up it after it doesn't sell- that when I don't re-watch it as that's just insulting. You're going the wrong way!!!

but u couldn't make an offer before

I really like that orange Tissot! I may take a run at it depending on size.

so nice of the seller to let us know. just i case we miss it. hate to say it, but buying from italy is like driving on the autobahn
This has been a concern for me, I want to think Italy isn't on the same list with Russian Federation and S. Korea for- watch out on eBay, but it seems so lately. Not sure what's going on.

That likely means they will accept an offer for what the first auction started at... making the original listing price seam like a deal compared to the new price. I hate when sellers do this.

Yeah, this thread is all about the sellers that want to get it gone. We shouldn't muddy the fun waters here with these kind of eBay trash.
This has been an off week on the bay- not many good deals and lots of shady shit it appears, with sellers not taking offers when they post make an offer, sub-par watches with high price tags....perhaps it's the seasonal change, perhaps it's covid frustration- let's hope for a return to normal this coming week.

And with that said- here is something intersting:
Techno's Skylight in stunning gold with shimmering dial. These c-cases Skylights are striking and sizable at around 35mm and that dial is awesome. Seller appears to have done a cut&paste on the description but the tittle and pics should say it all.

that may be true. but at least you can make an offer. and an offer that is lower than that.

a fighting chance is just that.

This one is quite nice. Case looks great with good edges. Crystal could use a cleaning up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254724226740
There we go, back on track. It's a plated case but looks to be in nice shape and actually has brushing on the top surfaces- on a plated case! Should clean up nicely and be a good poor man's C-shaped Connie.

Decent Certina for you Europeans. The asking price isn't crazy (especially if claimed service is verifiable) and there is a Make Offer option. IMO this is the kind of watch the newbies should be buying with this type of budget, instead of bottom-feeding for "bargain" Omegas.

Now that's a stunner! Look at those twisted lugs! I see bracelets for these pop up commonly too.

And it's gone. I hope we'll see it again on OF.

Mine for $175

although here’s a weird thing... has this happened to any of you?

Made offer.

Get the ‘you’ve submitted an offer’ email.

no sign of offer accepted.

but it’s there as a checkout option as if it has been...

Clicked pay now.

Order confirmed. Paid and sorted. But no ‘offer accepted’ message.

Weird right?

Anyway. It looks great. Love the chamfer on those lugs!

Photos to follow!

Yeah, it's a pretty common glitch particularly if you use the mobile app. I've had multiple item purchases show only 3 as purchased but 4 in the cart and other oddities like that- but they all update eventually and never had a dropped item.
And congrats on a great grab! I think I saw a nasty one up a few days ago that has the bracelet- and it was fairly cheap. Buy it for the bracelet and flip the watch or use it for parts
