That's low for one of those, looking at others on the market.

OK, I can agree with that--I was more taken aback by the "As rare as anything on the market" claim.

On most of these, clearly the buyers are a bit silly, especially when the numbers are astronomical.

On a few others, typically where the price is, say, double the value of the watch, I think there is actually some strategy involved at times. I think these webs catch a few flies, who make an apparent lowball offer that gets accepted.

That happened to me. Price was 1.3k. I paid .9k. Should have paid .7k. But I do love the watch.

Slightly off topic, but I think you'll see the humor.

Second hand looks incorrect.
