Now that Hodinkee has published the back story, not surprising to see the very first evidence of the "Hodinkee Effect".

Bidding now at $36,600 (32,400 Euro), with a fourth bidder placing six bids, to get to the top of the list!!

Here's the auction -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/montre-autavia-heuer-/181906308716

: After two full days on eBay, with five days remaining, it's bid
: to $31,045 (27,450 Euro).

: Interesting to examine the bidding a little more closely: Of
: course, we never know the actual amount of the high bid (showing
: at 27,450 Euro) . . . we see that he has placed seven bids
: Second highest bidder is at 27,400 Euro, and has placed 60 of
: the 80 bids . . . so he enjoys clicking the "Place
: Bid" button Third highest bidder is at 24,500 Euro, and has
: placed two bids Fourth bidder is at 15,445 Euro So at the
: moment, seems that we have three people in the contest for this
: one (bidding between 24,500 Euro and over 27,450 Euro); of
: course, there may be some serious bidders watching this one from
: a distance.
