The real highlights were learning the rest of the story on some of these. The 44 was hysterical as soon as I found out it wasn’t my recent transcontinental sale
At any one time there are around 3,200 listings in the Grand Seiko category on Yahoo. I actually see every single new listing in the parent Seiko Category (43,000 listings).
Clearly it's way too many to go through every single week, and there is no point, because the vast majority of the listings just sit there with no bids and recycle every week - they get listed with a relatively high starting price that nobody bids on.
It's actually quite rare for something new of interest to be have been listed in the week that by Friday morning hasn't had any bids on it. If there is a new interesting listing with a high starting price, but a price that I think is not beyond the realms of attracting some bids by the time it closes, then I mention it. I also have quite a few listings with no bids in my watch list that I keep an eye on.
It's only things like these listings from Closer where there might be some interest as he (very slowly) continues to reduce the prices - on watches that I didn't originally add to my Yahoo watch list when they were originally listed - that I might miss. Hence my comment that perhaps I should make a habit of going through everything he has listed once in a while.

TGSG - where your questions are anticipated, and your answers are forthcoming.
Back to quench a nagging thirst to know more about the transitional carved. Thanks for mentioning the
Sotheby’s a second time.
Why do u filter by bids ? I would’ve thought if anything it’s more interesting to find good watches that aren’t being watched ...
Good quesiton...
