Great Ad On Ebay!


Recommended Posts

 

 

My exceptionally stupid husband bought it by phone bidding from Fellows&Sons auction. It came smaller than he thought and non-working. He paid £80 plus auction indemnity. 
Take it for scrap. Any price will do. As education does not come for free

 

 

:D Priceless

Excellent! They're actually very nice watches - and they do make a larger version - but nobody pays £80 for a dead one! That's about what you pay for a working one. The pointer hand has actually snapped from the main disc on the face of the watch. Here's mine for comparison...

It never ceases to amaze me some of the crap that is sold on eBay. Why some pay £50 for a non working French clock with the pendulum missing, cracked dial & rusted hands but somehow they get sold.

I have put on Ebay fully working ,serviced & re-gilded French clocks and got less.

Needless to say unless I can pick one up really cheap at my local auction house I don,t bother any more .

Poor sod, I bet he'll be to scared to buy another watch as long as he lives! We've all made mistakes & £80 ain't going to break the bank, imagine if it had been £800 could you imagine the wording in the listing then!
