    Optimistic PRS-82 seller?

    Just spotted this..

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/201489868565

    I think I'll be keeping hold of mine if this one sells for the asking!

    Well, the PRS-82 is out of stock...

    Very optimistic indeed, by nearly a factor of 2. A PRS-21 DNV 'Unworn' is on ebay for nearly £100 less than the new price

    Seems a fair price to me ;-)

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    Dumb question...though probably is a fair price given the quality (and I ain't being a sycophant, bought ,y father-in-law a PRS-18 for his birthday and the watch and service was excellent)...

    But, well, how would anyone interested in that watch on eBay, not know the forum? it does seem mightly optimistic. Still, Good demonstration!

    There were 2 PRS-82's on E-bay over the weekend, one for 520 Euros sold very quickly, the 1000 Euros is still on. Let the market decide!

    Indeed, I think it's very cool and Eddie deserves the credit. Doubly so for retaining his astonishing prices.

    Have you mailed Eddie to see when he is expecting them back in stock? that will be less that €520. They are a cracking watch, I am on my second now and it looks fantastic on Tf grey nato with the new hardware.

    The Buy it Now was changed to Eur800 with a Best Offer option. It sold for Best Offer but obviously we don't know what that was.

    There is a December '14 PRS-82 on the bay at the moment, bid to £155, but will go for higher than that. It will be interesting to see how near/over £400 it makes.

    It sold for €790 (= about £590).

    See here: http://item.ebay.co.uk/201489868565?...200&rmvSB=true

    That is a lot of money. Did the buyer think it was an original (despite it being labelled "re-edition")?

    I use this site: http://www.watchcount.com/

    You enter the item number of the finished item, it shows you a summary page, and there's usually a link which takes you to a page that shows the actual price paid. This site is where I found the link in my post above.

    The History link also takes you to an eBay page that shows all the offers made and rejected.
