I emphasize this passage: "retailers price is a bit more than 20.000 usd."

My original reply to this first posted message:

I'll be happy to pay $20.00 USD for a New Daytona 18k… I've always liked the Early 1970's Daytona's or the Pre-Daytona Cosmographs, and I think I could flip this 18k Daytona for enough profit if I purchase it for $20.00 that I can afford one of the Stainless Steel one's I prefer.

So this one's all mine boys!!!

So here I am offering FULL Retail price (as you've defined it) and calling dibs!

Your reply:

THIS IS GOLD DAYTONA WATCH AND IT IS BRAND NEW. I'VE BEEN ASKING 10K FOR THIS ONE. $20.00 USD hehe are you kidding me?

Well, you posted the message, you inferred the denomination (usd) and the amount (20.000)... $20.000 usd is $20.00 US Dollars (insignificant digit dropped) you were seeking. I don't think that I am kidding. My offer was for what you quoted as a retail price. I don't see why you find the offer humorous. Please email me your bank information so I can get the money transfer in progress, I think $80 USD is a fair amount for insured express delivery from Europe, so we'll call it an even $100.00 USD

P.S. Steve and the others... Sorry but I called Dibs on this one... This is key in the "Operation: Chucks Steel 1970's Daytona"... Better luck (and faster dibs posting next time)...
