Rabbit hole live auctions

Watch guys. What is this worth you think

Moni_SLO

Tough to see condition but my guess is $2K maybe at the high end. Bases aren’t that price even with the sandwich dial. Love me some Panerai’s though just won’t catch me with a metal link band on it.

Ok ok. So a little back story. 2 month old baby, when she wakes up I go down rabbit holes while she is being fed. Found a live auction site and am diving in the deep end to try and find stuff at good prices to flip to fund said golf addiction. All while trying to not let my wife find out ha

What did it end up selling for? Box/papers? Panerai market is strange. It’s been in a lull for years, even in this market where the in demand watches are up 100%+. Even if you got a deal on that piece for $3-4k, you’ll sit on it for a while.

Speedy prices are ridiculous at the moment. Had your pick of the litter for $2,500 pre-COVID and now if you got one for $5k that is considered a decent deal.

ckay so no clue on box papers. I was in target pushing the wife's cart around when that sold. I am currently using a 2 screen computer on stuff if I can't resell I would keep. I am in for a bunch of items for around 300. A few high end g shock models I got for 15 bucks a piece, a few lv hand bags. All items are guaranteed authentic or money back. I am very much over my head. There are like a bunch of live auctions going on right now over the country. If you have the Patience to sit around you might find a good deal. Also I have no clue what I am doing but some of the watches look nice. Easy to make a 25 buck mistake instead of 1200 buck one. Sorry I am rambling but my head is spinning haha.

There are currently 110 to 130 people watching the one I am in right now. They have gone through 40% of the 1111 items. The hard part is the sitting getting to an item you might have interest it.

Do they use stock photos for their listings? It might be because I’m not registered but these listings for this watch all use the same photos.

I don't think they do. On some of the tags you can see the scratches or Knicks in the dials

dbenick3

I will say it is hard to see some.

dbenick3

Sold for $250

dbenick3 wild I wonder what a no reserve eBay auction would bring.

dbenick3

ckay that is what I am saying. If I wasn't on an assistant pro salary and can afford to eat a 1500 I would make a play on one of the big ones.

ckay

dbenick3 you don’t need a big hit. A bunch of little hits are just as good 👍

Good luck!

dbenick3

Ya but I what if I want to join the big kid watch club on here. Haha I did get two high end g shocks for 15 bucks a piece. Ha. $800 & $400 retail solar ones.

ckay

dbenick3 you’ll get there. Patience will make it that much more rewarding.

dbenick3

Ha ya then I see the ohhh new and shiny putter I haven't tried. 🤦

You will loose your ass on the other brands and they are expensive to fix!
