    I don't think he's crazy at all. I think he's just fed up with being messed about in the past and making a point in a humorous way, esp the bit about the medication. I'm sure that if you messaged him you'd get a perfectly sensible response.

    Up to $2000 - I wonder how this will escalate overnight, not sure if a sneaky BIN offer would suffice now!

    If you ask me the use of all caps multi-coloured Comic Sans alone should be part of the DSM-IV ;)

    Am with @Alpha on this one. It did bring a smile to my face this morning, whilst reading.
    I too sense he will be letting it ride now. Given where the price went to off the bat. Well at least I hope he lets its ride. Would love to see where this one ends up.::book::

    Thought this should be saved as a future model.

    OMEGA SEAMASTER 300
    THIS IS A 100% AUTHENTIC SWISS MADE OMEGA SEAMASTER 300 STAINLESS STEEL VINTAGE DIVER'S MENS WATCH.
    I BOUGHT THIS AGES AGO FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S ESTATE AND AM OFFERING THIS IN AN AS FOUND CONDITION (SEE PHOTOS), NO TARTING UP FOR SALE, SO WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.
    WATCH HAS ORIGINAL SIGNED OMEGA DIAL, CROWN, PLASTIC CRYSTAL, CASE AND MOVEMENT. ORIGINAL NEVER RE PLATED FACTORY DIAL, STAINLESS STEEL CASE AND CROWN,HORSE
    SEAMASTER BACK LOGO AND BAND.
    THIS IS AN OLD WATCH SO THE CRYSTAL IS SCRATCHED, THERE IS SOME MARKS ON THE BACK, THERE IS THE USUAL BUILD UP OF 50 YEARS OF GUNK AND GRIME AND THE BAND IS WORN SO BID ACCORDINGLY.
    THE WATCH RUNS BUT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BENEFIT FROM A SERVICE.
    I AM NO WATCH EXPERT SO PLEASE CHECK THE PHOTOS CLOSELY, ASK ANY QUESTIONS AS THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS.
    PLEASE ENQUIRE AS TO POSTAGE AND INSURANCE COSTS WHICH IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASER.(SEE MY CONDITIONS)
    THIS IS NO TIME TO SIT AND WATCH SO GET BIDDING AS TIME IS TICKING. BIDDING STARTS AT 0.99 CENTS THE REST IS UP TO YOU

    MY RANT
    PHOTO'S FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS SO THERE ARE 6,000 WORDS OF DESCRIPTION HERE.
    PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE NOT SOLD ANYTHING ON E-BAY FOR OVER A YEAR.


    I HAVE JUST FINISHED THERAPY BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE OF GRAPPLING WITH ALL THE CHANGING EBAY AND PAY PAL RULES AND REGULATIONS AND ANSWERING CRAZY BUYERS QUESTIONS.



    MY THERAPIST SAYS IT IS NOW SAFE FOR ME ONCE AGAIN TO TEST THE EBAY GODS BUT I MUST AT ALL TIMES STAY ON MY MEDICATION, SO HERE GOES.

    BECAUSE OF THE TIME DELAY SINCE MY LAST SELLING FORAY ALL MY WONDERFUL SELLER FEEDBACK HAS PROBABLY DROPPED OFF AND I MAY LOOK LIKE A NEW SELLER, BUT REST ASSURED I AM AN OLD HAND AND AN OLD FART SO YOU CAN BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.



    I have found that 99% of people are WONDERFUL ,1% are the exactly the opposite

    If you are part of the 1% please go away now,

    I will not suffer you.

    IM OLD, IM SELLING OLD SECOND HAND CRAP

    IF YOU WANT “NEW” THEN GO TO KMART


    IM SLOW SO DON’T EXPECT ANYTHING YOU BUY TO

    ARRIVE WITHIN A DAY OR 2 BECAUSE IT WONT

    I DON’T COMMUNICATE UNLESS THE QUESTION IS WORTHY OF AN ANSWER

    OR THE ITEM IS VALUABLE


    IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE ALL OF THE ABOVE YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE

    YOU ARE PART OF THE 1% THAT MAKE THE ON-LINE WORLD STINK.


    IF YOU BID YOU ACCEPT MY TERMS

    IF I DO NOT BREACH MY TERMS YOU OWE ME A POSITIVE FEEDBACK

    IF YOU CANT ACCEPT THAT


    YOU ARE PART OF THE 1%


    I START ALL MY AUCTIONS AT 99 CENTS AND ACCEPT THE FINAL PRICE OFFERED

    GOOD OR BAD SO I KEEP MY WIFE HAPPY AND I GET RID OF ALL MY CRAP.

    SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE AND ASK QUESTIONS AND IF I'M STILL ON MY

    MEDICATION I WILL ANSWER YOU GOOD LUCK.

    It's funnny how ebay works sometimes, at the same time as the 2913 from our special seller, there's also this

    It's not everyday one of those comes up, so it almost seems like it could be fate for the eventual high bidder.
    Do your own due diligence on the bezel, but potentially a unusually uncommon opportunity to make it complete straight away.

    Good-looking (underneath scratched crystal) 145.022-74 or early 145.022-76. Seller doesn't mention anything about service history but the price is pretty good IMO. Replace / polish the crystal, add a little lume re-fill in the hour hand and you'd have a pretty attractive watch!

    Oh thank God. Otherwise I would've had to make an offer, and I really can't afford to do that right now!

    Anyone here pick it up? I'm dying to see photos once the crystal is sorted.

    I got it. This will be a good test of my crystal-polishing skills, among other things. Anyone know of someone in the U.S. who could do a good job filling in the lume on the hand?

    Nice! I'm excited to see how it turns out! My watchmaker in New York was fairly good at repairing missing lume, but I dunno if it'd be worth sending all the way from the west coast.
