I try to adjust and update my pricing but I just don't seem to be doing it fast enough. When something like this sells for over $5K - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wittnauer-Geneve-Professional-Valjoux-72-Chronograph-rare-black-face-/281159384993?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=JDuIEPbZCP2J407%252BaTfC8UaHaeU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc#ht_295wt_1400
I am still shell shocked. Craig

: for $1500 that ran OK and didn't need to be repaired? Now one
: has sold needing repairs for $3575!!!

: Several of my recent repairs on these movement have parts costs in
: the $300 to $400 range (current market with no markup). That
: cost plus servicing can put a fixer way above the price of
: finding a nice one. I am starting to see a lot fixer watches on
: ebay (not only Heuer) going for ridiculous prices and sometimes
: more than one that is nice and ready to go. Are the rest of you
: seeing the same thing? Craig
