Returned mine last year to Jared mostly due to the clunky app and trouble getting the tide info stick in my area - hope they fix those issues wear in good health!

Since [mention]chefo[/mention] first posted the Louis Erard deal, I had it on my eBay watchlist.
Last night the seller made a lower priced offer, I countered with a lowball counteroffer and they accepted.

Shouldn't be buying a watch until I get employed again, but couldn't pass up this deal.

I always wonder if these offers were sent by eBay since they know the margins if the seller had put in an automatic fcuk off price. Of course the item needs to be in your "watch list"

From my experience selling on eBay, you have the option to send offers to people who have the item on their watchlist. I haven't found it to be automated, but eBay will send you messages or notifications in your profile asking if you want to send out offers after a period of time that it hasn't sold.

Managed to get in on this one this morning, which was nice given the crash and burn of the Ming x Massena Labs attempted releases yesterday and this morning.

My Max Bill shipped. Was getting a little worried since I hadn't gotten the confirmation and they sold out pretty quick after I ordered.

Glad someone jumped on that one. That was the model that tempted me the most.
