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

as a dealer they really must know better.

Seller says this is a redial, is only gold capped but still wants £2000 for this
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251457122491

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:

"A "Must Have" for the Omega Collector, you're not going to find one of these in this condition any time soon ... Don't Miss This Superb Opportunity"

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!

Have you issued a GBP 1 best-offer? 😀
No, I'll leave that to others 😀 . I'm taking a very dim view of timewasters at the moment...

I tried to help out the lady selling this one yesterday. It did not go well....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221157895805&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

Apparently ebay completed listings don't help as a guide because they 'ARE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME'.


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."
