Though I have not made any purchases for quite some time, I still peruse eBay.
Some interesting stuff. Most, to me, is not. Much is tired and badly reworked. Much is very badly overpriced. For example, there's currently a sleigh front with the wrong dial, movement, gong, and amateur glasses for a price that a good one would probably not be able to achieve.
Today, now I can say that I've seen everything. A very BAD 30 hour weight driven ogee with a BIN price of $2,900!
If he gets that price, I will gladly ship him at my expense every ogee I can find for him to sell.
Also, again a caution. It is an error to cite asking prices on eBay, which people often do, as a guide to value rather than what it sold for.
