The following are presented as presumptions and in no way reflects on the character of the seller.
Here is an eBay seller that sells yard sale stuff (look at his feedback to see what he normally sells). gets his father in law's watch, wants to sell it, and then when listing it uses eBay's search feature and thinks he has struck gold. Look at his information, pictures, and the condition of the watch.
Then look at his selling price. It is not even an auction, the BIN is $500.00.
I am posting this here rather than as a reply to my other post as this auction will go away and may not make sense to others reading it later.
But he do state that "WATCH WILL GO TO HIGHEST OFFER". Seems to be in good condition though, at least on the outside. Think I will put in a lowball offer and see what happens.
Although $500 could be a very good price for a never seen 70s Seawolf with quartz (!) movement. ;D
yeah, those quartz sea wolfs are really rare! some people think all watches run on a battery.he probably wont get a buyer at 500.00. it looks good,wrong bracelet, original bezel is average. lets watch it. should we tell him it dates from the 60s and is not quartz? i wonder how it is runnig good if he didnt wind it?

Out of the drawer into an auction. Not restored, unserviced, not even a popular model nor seen on eBay enough to get this price. $150? Where does he get that price?
Oh, yeah, check his feedback to see what he normally sells.
Lemme know if this gets tiresome.
This one, on the other hand is pretty, with original paperwork:

Help me to understand exactly what you are trying to say when you provide that auction as an example in this topic.
#1605...wow, bet there is a lot of interest on this one, description/picture leaves a lot to be desired!! well, we DO know it IS a zodiac, maybe.

I suppose to say that this auction is the opposite of what usually comes on ebay. Instead of a seller overstating a zodiac with incorrect parts and demanding a ridiculous price, here's an example where the watch looks good, looks correct, comes with a rare box, paperwork and the seller started the auction at a low price with no reserve. It's refreshing to see. I wish I cared about these 70s bezels so that I would bid.
Thanks! I thought so but wanted to make sure. I agree with you.
