If a seller is not willing to make the investment in determining the value of what he’s selling then he has no recourse. He sets the start price and reserve (if used), not the buyer.

I just read about someone getting a two tone ladies Rolex here for 12GBP... not the same? Yes it is. Seller did not invest to check the item and was happy to take nothing for it.

I purchased my 1978 9411 well below market at the time. Pictures were poor and seller didn’t communicate when I asked questions. I ended up winning and it was completely original. 702 crown and all. That was my “big score”.

This is why it is important, as both a buyer and seller, to educate yourself.
