Balad1 0 Posted August 14, 2011 There is something about combining my love of reps with the thrill of an online auction that is addicting to me, lol. 11 so far for me... PS: Considering the great deals maybe I'm normal; thoughts, ha ha? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balad1 0 Posted August 14, 2011 The only problem is that I have so many in the pipeline that I don't even remember what the fuck I've bought... If it wasn't for the "I won" page I wouldn't have known the count, ha ha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prestigewatchco 2 Posted August 14, 2011 According to my sales count I have sold 393 watches since it started although some have been sold when I have duplicates so don't show in count. Of course I have also had the inevitable wanker who doesn't pay but not many to be honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gB. 0 Posted August 14, 2011 I'm right there with you Ted, close to a dozen bought by now. Luckily some have passed on to others, or were for someone else from the get go. Close to half of them are mine now TBH... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted August 14, 2011 0- I did win a bid on a Bond SMP but 'did not meet reserve'. I should have gotten it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted August 14, 2011 0- I did win a bid on a Bond SMP but 'did not meet reserve'. I should have gotten it anyway. No you shouldn't if you never got an email saying you won it you didn't win at the end of every auction since there is no reserve I manually assign every watch with a bid on it. So don't go winging you won something and didn't get opportunity to buy it. If you had offered or bid the most money then you would have bought it period. Give me the auction number and I will get you the bid print out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Close to half of them are mine know TBH... You know the funny part of my obsession is that considering I'm retired I only wear a watch maybe once a week for a few hours (out to dinner and such). When I'm home doing yard work / home improvements I'm afraid to scratch them so never wear them. For me collecting reps makes me happy so I say "fuck it" drive on, lol. PS: Actually about to leave for the day and have on a big ass IWC that I got from Robert's auction for a very reasonable price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLaForce 2 Posted August 14, 2011 I like the way Robert changed the auction procedure from the initial start up, I've only got 2 , but ones on it's way back ... Hope it gets there soon must resist ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give me the auction number and I will get you the bid print out I wasn't complaining. Frankly I didn't understand the reserve concept, maybe it was dropped or perhaps someone made a higher offer after. That's why if I want to buy something I'll just order directly, like my incoming Catrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted August 14, 2011 I have to be honest N I was surprised you were complaining. But it did look like you were saying you were the high bid and didn't get it. The way it works currently with reserve is that regardless if reserve is met or not the watch is sold to the highest bid or offer. Thats the problem with the web it doesn't show the way things are said just what is said. Sorry if I misunderstood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AGL 0 Posted August 14, 2011 bid on a few and made offers but nothing for me. Im too cheap. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway Robert the auction was back on July 16th, was the reserve system different then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
