It's easier to poke fun at Ebay but for the record, nobody's mentioning some of the ridiculous asking prices sometimes found on
.... Oops- Edit: forums!!!
(Including this one at times).
That''s all I'm saying. No names.

Ugh... just ugh. Let us all say a prayer for this poor "pristine" 145.012-67:

Huh, chocolate dial. Already got one and I paid 1/5 of that price!
I like the way the Tissot crown has suddenly become an anchor 🙄

I do like that 1022 flexi with the 563 end links though 🙁

Saw that a few minutes ago myself and almost posted it here ;-)

Slightly more expensive than the Bezel Over Dot ( I think this started at twice the price)

I know...and so hard to find one from a smoke-free home.

I purchased a pair of designer sunglasses from a smoke free home and the case was full of loose tobacco! Cross my heart and hope to die lol. I know these are old posts, but I'm enjoying you guys!

$8000 for a Speedmaster Mark 3 in sub-par condition :|. No idea why he mentions Speedmaster 125 in the name as it isn't one

He took an unremarkable 176.002, added the wrong movement, then declares it as "super rare", and decides to ask about 5x what it's actually worth. 🤮

It's e-xotic that's how he can sell it for so much.
Sellers eBay handle.

Probably the least sought after Constellation ref. in gold plate without bracelet:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Con...405957?hash=item3ac6ae2a05:g:haQAAOSwvg9XZMtY

£1,082.49

They are going to be surprised by the offers they'll receive...

Have people gone absolutely insane? I think I paid $28 at the boutique for mine. $18 to ship?

Not my cup of tea, but I think there's a market for vividlily's hyper-restored watches.
