    35 grand!!! The man does have a dream!

    as a dealer they really must know better.

    or maybe we are all just stupid buying and selling these things for about a grand.

    Not to mention a tired old movement, pitting corrosion in the case seal areas and an observatory where five of the stars just refuse to twinkle.

    And I haven't even looked at the dial.

    However we may all be wrong as this is, quote:

    And mine is not an over polished turd like the one on ebay and I paid less than $1000 US for it this past fall.
    Geez, that ebay turd is approaching 18K gold deluxe money!

    or you can buy it now for only 200,000....

    If anybody is thinking of grabbing this, I'd like to mention that I have a ten year old Hyundai Accent that has only been winter driven, never seen a single summer (how's that for rare!) I'm willing to let this go for only $53,000.... and I'll even throw in a canoe!

    No, I'll leave that to others :) . I'm taking a very dim view of timewasters at the moment...

    No good deed goes unpunished. Don't worry, sooner or later she'll be forced to realize that she's asking WAY TOO MUCH when it doesn't sell….. or she'll just keep relisting it and remain thick headed.

    Just love those valuation letters!

    Remember folks, as the lady says: "it is uplifting for your spirit, but also a lucrative investment."
