Have to agree with you on this one Stewart. I have been watching this development for a while, both here and on the bay. The prices are ludicrous, particularly for the bracelets and straps. There is a Monaco BCT on the bay for silly money at the moment. Maybe the seller is one of our number. BUT I have also noticed that they are not being sold at that price. So what is happening? Maybe someone is artificially setting the prices high to maximize the results of other auction items that people then assume are "bargains?" Don't know but my hope is that it will all settle down in the long term.

: I mean no offence, as the seller could be among us.. but I've seen
: some really mental asking prices recently for Heuer accessories
: on ebay.. like over $3300 for a bracelet, albeit a rare GF.
: Is it me, or does anyone else find this a bit.. well.. OTT.
: Don't get me wrong - I'm all for asking strong market prices for an
: actual watch.. of even a bit more if it's an exceptional
: example.. but $3300 can buy a perfectly good Heuer watch. I know
: that the market can dictate these things, but accessories seem
: to be more wildly priced than the watches.
: Sorry for the rant !
