Re: Ebay - please help inspire me

If we had an inside on under the radar deals or finds, we wouldn't be sharing it here! Joking aside, I think the market has changed quite a bit in the last few years. Vintage watches are certainly hot right now, and good examples are getting snatched up as they are more find-able by the uninitiated than ever before with so much information readily available on the forums and websites. Dealers are also capitalizing on this as there seems to be a great market of people with the money that don't want to take the time do the the research or the hunting, and are willing to pay the dealer premium.
