Back in 2019 I sold my PRS-50-B to a UK buyer for, if I remember correctly, about £350. The very same one is now up for sale in Taiwan for.... $1999!
That's just an asking price and it will probably sell for less but all the same. Wow.
I noticed that when I listed mine on eBay recently after in hung in here for ages there isn’t as many watches of Eddie’s on eBay, some abroad and some very optimistic pricing on dreadnoughts
Does this mean people are hanging on to them more, I guess it does

I suspect people are selling elsewhere due to steady increase of eBay fees to 15%, it is difficult to make your money back and not worth the bigger buyer audience.

Who actually pays full fees on eBay? They offer discounts 80% or 90% of final fees or list for pound so often you'd be mad not to wait.

Off topic, but I'm a business seller (jewellery) fairly low volume and I've waited 5 months for my latest one. Ebay are pushing bespoke and custom stuff, as well as pulling out the stops to encourage amateur sellers back. Just sayin'
That didn't take long, PRS-60 on ebay already.

Not being funny it might be bad form but if they are selling something they own there isn't a lot that can be done, was always going to get one or two pop up

Same guy is also selling a Mission timer:

If anyone is interested I saw this on chrono 24 which seems a bit steep!

Optimistic I'd have thought.
6 commanders on eBay now, with a seventh sold last weekend.
Still cannot understand why the prices have not risen. Loads of missed profit there Eddie.
So ...
Been on here for Yonks but not posted often in all that time, and just wondering where the Mythical Sales Corner is ?
Ah - It has appeared ! I must have been being hasty.
Won't be able to post a thread though even though I can see it now.
I have a Precista that doesn't suit my particular nature and would prefer to sell for cost to a deserving member rather than posting on eBay or having to put Eddie through a refund trauma.
What should I do ???

I'd say return or sell elsewhere. There aren't many rules on the site but needing 250 posts to sell is one of them. I appreciate you have been a member for a long time and aren't a newbie rushing to sell stuff but this seems a little like a stealth sales post.

PRS-54 = £459

Too small for him. So much for ppl complaining that it wears too large for the size...
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
Agreed.
Never said it was a trauma.
I just would prefer to get the watch to a TZ member that maybe found it difficult to get in during the 2 weekly 3 minute sales windows.
Seems there is no way until I get to 250 posts.
I am pretty sure the requirement when I joined was 50 posts ? A simple solution would be for members who joined before a change to have the rule as applicable at the time of joining not a set of moving goalposts - Just an idea, though probably impractical or not implementable.
- Flame time :)
Sorry, thought you meant my trauma.
Forgot I said that in jest.

PRS-2 3500 GBP

Interesting how the question of warranty is deliberately vague, and also one of these sellers seems to be using a cut and paste of the timefactors website text (presumably with Eddie's permission or course)
Now reduced to £399, and also advertised on Reddit, so obviously not quite the profit he was hoping for - https://old.reddit.com/r/Watchexchan..._prs54_unworn/
Andy got a Caribbean for sale. Only 600 quid.
