Big Discount for "Projects"
In Response To: Re: eBay 2447S - Market Speaks ()

I believe that we see a big discount (say, 33%) for a watch that will need parts (the pushers) and full servicing, and may have other problems, once the overhaul begins. Many buyers will simply not bid on "projects".

This $2,000 price seems about right for this "project" Carrera.
