Is this a real thing? I mean I have seen some interesting sales tactics - but to sell a collection for that amount of money without even really telling people what's in it just seems bizarre. Then again I am one of the people watching to see if it actually sells... 🍿 (316 others at this point...)

I highly doubt too many of you would be willing to part with your entire collection - particularly the vintage hunters.

3. Maurice LaCroix 2004 Leather band white face w/sapphire back (beautiful)
4. Baume & Mercier 2000 SS and 18K Gold band w/ white Face and SOLID Gold numbers
5. Panerai Limited 2008 #14**/3500 Leather band w/sapphire back Black face (beautiful)
6. Breitling Titanium w/ UTC 2008 Titanium Orange BREITLING Professional Emergency Watch w/ orange UTC
7. Montblanc 2008 27 Jewels SS band w Black face and white numbers
8. Movado 1991 SS and Gold w/ black face
9. Corums Admirals Cup 2004 Carbon Fiber and SS Limited Edition (this thing is sickly nice!)
10. U-boat Limited 2000 SS & Leather band w/ black face

I agree.

Very magnanimous of the Seller to send the collection covered by $45,000 of insurance.
Insurance to be an additional charge to the Buyer.
Which is in violation of Ebay regulations.

I am definitely not buying!

And sorry - I shouldn't have have said the seller didn't provide a partial list. Thanks for adding it. What I should have wrote is that some of those pieces, if they are worth a portion of that money, would probably benefit from a bit more of a description or some more photos. Twelve photos of one watch is hardly enough...

Anyway my collection is tiny - but there is no way I would be selling it all for one money 🙄 unless it was 30k...

I have always wondered about that - I see lots of listing that advertise free shipping but then say "contact me after auction - shipping isn't free"

Anyway definitely a strange sales tactic - maybe they think if they are insured for $45k that someone will pay the $30k?

Seller can't charge a penny more than what is in listing.

Can I add insurance charges to my invoice?
You can't charge a separate fee for insurance, but you can incorporate any insurance costs into your item's price or handling cost. Whether or not you choose to insure the item, you still need to make sure it arrives as you described it in your listing.

Any collection that has an Invicta in it should raise serious red flags on the buyers true interest in watches....

"318 watching"

I am - purely for the educational value...

Your photo reveals 76 inquiries - the real question should be who has asked so many questions!

That's my point I don't see 35k in watches and the others must be low. Alive.

In my experience collection sellers are irrational people who think that grouping things together somehow greatly increases the value.

It makes it easier for them to fudge the values of individual watches (i.e. the Rolex is worth about $10,000, the Omega is worth about $5,000, so on and so forth).

If each watch was offered for sale individually, they would never sell for that far above the actual true market value.
