Major new eBay win: HEUER CALCULATOR!

I just won this fantastic condition mid-1970s Heuer Calculator with a calibre 12 automatic chronograph. I placed my bid through eSnipe six hours earlier when the high bid was about half of my max. eSnipe triggered my bid with five seconds to go and I won it with only $28.00 to spare. I am really excited to get this Heuer. Now I won't be so sad that I sold my Heuer Daytona several years ago.

Like I said before Tom, killer TAG!

Wow, another very cool piece, Tom.

No, no...not a TAG! This is a pre-TAG Heuer. No TAG! No TAG!

In 1985. (Boo!)

Very Cool.
I don't have much luck winning on eBay - only every now and then.
So...what is this eSnipe?
Sounds like I coulda used it for a Lum-Tec I lost a couple days ago.

Holy Heuer, this is a beauty Tom ! ..Congratulations
on the win. The look of this watch is TOO GOOD ! The case, the bezel,
those hands, are all astonishingly nice ! It's hard not to like everything
about a piece like this. It's historical, it's AWESOME looking, and it's
something you don't see every day. What a CLASSIC !!! Terrific find,
and win once again sir ! ENJOY !!!!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys.

eSnipe is a service that places your eBay bid exactly when you want it placed (at minus five seconds in my case). They only charge a very tiny fee and only on bids that you win. They've help me win at least 100 auctions in the past couple years...probably a lot more.

Dude that thing is CRAZY hot!

Looks freaking brand new!

Great pics of course!

Enjoy!

. . . Very nice!!!! Both the watch and the snipe!!!

Another model that's new to me . . . the calculator. I love this place . . .

Besides being absolutely reliable, using eSnipe allows you to win auctions at times when you are indisposed. This win today occured while I was watching the 9th inning of my Padres shutout of the Brewers. So, whether you're at work, at dinner, asleep, or whatever, eSnipe is right there pulling the trigger seconds before your auctions end. It's great for eBay UK and Germany auctions because of the time difference.

I use esnipe too....won 100's of auctions I never would otherwise. Just bid what you are willing to pay...the absolute max. Then wait...if you bid the most you are willing to pay then you never feel bad if you lose. You only pay the most if others bid that high too...it's just like typing your bid in with 6 seconds to go.

Now I have to clean the drool off of my keyboard Tom! FREAKIN GREAT HEUER!!!

You got that watch for HOW MUCH?

Great bid win Tom!!! I have to look into the eSnipe tihng, sounds like a no-brainer.

Nice work Tom. Can't wait to see your pics.

Holy crap! That looks to be in amazing condition aswell Really looking forward to your pics. I think David (DMB) has one of those aswell
Congrats, man!

cool case and dial, great movement!
