    My 1800spinning wheel was less then 100.

    I've been to a few but never got involved. It is fun to watch people try to outbid one another. Also, there is a lot of really interesting stuff to rummage through.

    We put our apartment up for sale via Auction,,it was a terrible experience,,i will never put anything on auction ever again..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    We put it up for auction on the advice of the real estate agent,we had 2 people turn up after the real estate told us they had 14 people coming to the auction,,naturally it fell through and we still had to pay $800 regardless,and it all happened at a very bad time in our lives..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    Poor auctioneer. We have an auctioneer here who has hundreds show up at all of his auctions. His auctions are fun and well advertised but he's been in the business for many years.

    Yeah Duck,poor auctioneer and poor knowledge on our part..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    A couple of silent auctions for charity, but I didn't end up with anything.

    EBay is great fun and dangerous. I won a spinning wheel at a great price but was fooled with a yarn spinner. ....

    Yes.

    No. Often the auctioneer talks too fast and you can wind up paying way too much! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaVTxiPBJgM

    But the dial is the real star, just link like most market exclusives. But instead of tossing around $10,000 or more for a Bulargi or Cartier for your Hindu-Arabic numerals, here you get link a tremendous tropical dial for a fraction of the price. While it's not quite as link cool as the baked Nivada Grenchen faux-tropical dials, the choice of a warm dial gradient color instead of a baked dial is probably more stable and longer-lasting.

    But having celebrated the firms 150th anniversary in 1989 and presciently predicting that link interest in mechanical especially complicated watches was about to increase Philippe Stern realised that this essentially 19th-century system link of sub-suppliers and scattered workshops acquired by the company over the years link needed to change. Not everyone welcomed the idea chief among them the firms then patriarch Philippes father Henri.
