    Interesting Behavior on Amazon Pricing

    Most people don't realize that Amazon, like E-bay, have many sellers that aren't part of Amazon although they do follow strict Amazon rules. I purchased an Air conditioner that came damaged. He gave me a refund instead of sending another. When I checked Amazon again, that seller was gone and a...

    Why I collect

    E-bay has crashed the value of our watches among other things. But at the same time, have opened up owning one of these treasures to many more people then ever before. I have my grandfathers Illinois 60 hour Bunn Special that at one time pre E-bay was over a Grand +. Today they are all over...

    Ebay description mistakes or fraud not correctible

    Body parts? :bigsmile: I sold a lot of watch parts and movements on ebay and made a lot of money doing it, but I never myself took a watch apart to do it. I bought out watch makers tools and parts at auction.

    Ebay description mistakes or fraud not correctible

    When Ebay first hit the "net", it was Buyer beware! It can work both ways. I have gotten some "steals" because the seller didn't know what he had. I myself when I sold on ebay was shocked at the money I got for some Items and didn't have a clue why. When I sold back in the 90's, prices were...

    Ball Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Pocket Watch

The "Boss" was...

    Ball Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Pocket Watch

    :excited: I got this watch at an auction and the strangest thing was that they put 10 watches up for choice. I was first high bidder and took a 60 hour bunn special for my son. After everyone took a watch, this was the last watch "standing". I must admit, I had no clue of its value. But it was...

    Ball Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Pocket Watch

    I picked up a Ball pocket watch today that is signed on the dial BLE and on the movement BLE. I think its a 18s. My ten year old book shows it as a two star watch. Are they that rare? It doesn't run as at least the spring is broken :(and there is wear through on the gold plated keystone case :(...
