Lately, we have had some interesting messages about the bargains -- specifically, a $2.00 Autavia Viceroy (found at a garage sale) and a $5.00 Autavia GMT (found in a watchmaker's shop). Thinking back a bit, other memorable "bargains" have been an Autavia GMT that went on ebay for the $9.95 BuyItNow price and a Rally-Master pair that sold for $800, also on an ebay BuyItNow.

Here's the request for a special Scan Day, to be held this coming Monday, January 24th: Tell us about your favorite bargain.

• THE BARGAIN -- the one that you found really cheap, and were lucky enough to be able to snag. Where did you find it? Do you still grin when you look at it?

• THE TYPO in the ebay listing, that allowed you to find one that all the regulars missed

• THE NASTY PHOTO -- the photo that was so awful, that it allowed you to find one that others could not see (or maybe they saw it, but didn't see the real watch.

• THE SWEET DEAL -- maybe you have never found a $2.00 Heuer or a $5.00 Heuer, so tell us about a good deal / bargain that came your way. I mean, there's no shame in paying $600 for one that turns out to be worth $1,800

• THE ONE YOU MISSED. Still stumped?? OK, tell us about that most painful of all events -- the bargain that got away. the BuyItNow that vanished as you were hitting the bid button? the time you were the second to respond to ultra-cheap listing?

• THE JERK. Here's another possibility from the dark-side -- tell us about the bargain you almost had, but the seller relaized the value of what he had and refused to complete the deal.
