In the early days (or should I say "nights") of ebay, I once won of these for $76, in a completed auction (no BuyItNow). . . but it was only an Allstate.

nice find; nice story.

thanks,

Jeff

: Hello to all Heuer enthusiasts,
: Well, here it is, the $75 USD ($2,500 NTD) Auto
: Rallye with serial no. 112XXX I got from a
: gentleman here in Taiwan. As Jeff has
: mentioned before, "condition only
: matters with the second one", I am
: beyond ecstatic to have gotten my first Auto
: Rallye. To make a long story short, this AR
: was destined to be junked with a cluster of
: old timing instruments from a oceanography
: college here on the island. The seller
: thought the piece looked interesting and
: saved it from being dumped into a local
: landfill. The starting bid was $1,800 NTD,
: about $53 USD! Well, the Buy-It-Now price of
: $2,500 BTD, about $75 USD with shipping, was
: just too good to pass up! It may not be the
: prettiest piece in my collection. However,
: by far, this purchase has been the most
: rewarding and satisfying experience since I
: started collecting Heuer dash watches!
