Re: For Those Who Say That Collecting Is No Longer Fun

Well..

it would be WAY more fun if you just gave credit where credit was due.

: For those who may say that collecting vintage Heuers is no
: longer fun (or maybe not the sport that it used to be), let me
: point out these two, both listed and sold within the last 24
: hours. And let me ask for a shoulder to cry on, having missed
: out on both of them, by a matter of minutes.

: The Autavia 1163 GMT (Mark 2) was listed by a pawn shop in Texas,
: and promoted by Facebook and Instagram . . . sold in under an
: hour for around $8,500 (from what I hear).

: The Carrera "full set" was listed by Watches with Patina
: --
: http://www.watcheswithpatina.com/heuer-carrera-3647s-full-set
: -- and appeared on Instagram and a maybe a forum (or two), and
: was sold in under an hour (with a $9,000 price listed).

: Yes, there ain't much on eBay these days, and the three and four
: "handles" ($3,000 / $4,000) have become eight or nine
: handles ($8,000 / $9,000), but what a thrill it would have been
: to have opened the incoming box and to have seen either of these
: staring at me!
