    Black Copal/Caslon 101 on ebay.com for relatively little money

    I was considering to put in a bid until I saw the 'thing' on top of it which could be a deep scratch but could also be a crack and that is just too much for me. I have only one spare case for a 101 and that is also damaged. It could be a nice acceptable risk for someone in the US or perhaps for parts.

    I offered the seller $40 a few days ago….didn’t take it. It looked like the number flaps may be broken and who know what else. I don’t have any spare white flaps. It could be nice all cleaned up.

      Yeah, I've noticed that the weird thing on ebay is that sometimes people will turn on the 'make an offer' option and expect people to put in a higher offer than the starting price of the listing. I've had responses from sellers coming up with a higher price than the initial starting bid. I don't really get that, but that is perhaps from a buyer perspective that I don't get it. Some sellers expect that function to be used for people wanting it so much they will put in a 75 USD bid for example on this clock, they will accept and that's that done and dusted.

        I've encountered the same with the use of make an offer on buy it nows. I tend to look through their sell history and see if they regularly accept offers, if not I won't bother. Looking at ebay documentation it seems to be phrased as a way to get a bargain for the buyer.

          Well someone got it... not me. I was looking at it like you guys, put in the offers etc. I'd buy it all day long at $40. But it's gone. Already got one that color but it never hurts to have parts.

            Exactly, parts are always welcome and also 101's do not come by very often.
