It's a nice example, but that's nearing the 30K price paid for the mint condition exotic dial a few months ago. Will be keeping an eye focused on this one for sure.
100 inquiries, but I bet most of them were tire-kickers. For all we know, only one guy was willing to pay the enormously bloated price.
Also true, but it hardly establishes a new price point. We've got a thread somewhere full of Ebay sellers hoping to find "that guy" to flog their overpriced goods to.
Agree with you there. The "bumped" price can become an outlier. And "that guy" will often find that the the "greater fool" theorum works well...until it doesn't.
Haha, yeah, I never said that's what it would sell for. But there has to be one fool with too much money that will reach out based on the Bring A Loupe.
