the silverstone is easy to explain as it was listed under the "tag" heading. so it you knock tag out of your searches you wouldn't have found it, unless you did a "heuer silverstone" search in heading and body. so that is a good part of it, as i found it at the least 4 hours or so. only because i got bored and looked through like 1500 mostly tag links, s/el, f1, etc. items for a rare gem of a cal 15 monza just pulled out of grandpa's sock drawer listed under tag or other possible heuer model.

the autavia, like others said..was in not so great shape and some other issues. so that kinda explains that one.

i do think though that pricing has gotten a little out of hand to some degree across the board. we'll see though..if this is a fluke or a sign of the future?

interesting food for thought..thanks for bringing this topic up, Jeff.
