Who's interested? This years challenge!

[Rod]

This years challenge, the $1, 1 pound, $1 Aus, 1 Euro, 100Yen NEW watch challenge  Can it be done?

So the game is buy a new Mens Seiko or Citizen in the box for $1(euro, pound, Aust, Can, Yen etc) you have a year to do the deal, prove to us that you are cunning and post the results!

We have all seen them, the 1 dollar watch with no reserve and wondered if it was posable to actually score one of these for the 1 dollar  I do hope someone will succeed, the chances are slim to almost nonexistent, I'm ready and watching

Ok can you do it? No prizes, just the watch you win! Just bid 1 dollar and cross your fingers!

As before, no postage to be included in the final price!

For example this started out at $1

What about those auctions where the seller charges $20 or $25 Shipping ?

I reckon it would only be feasible if we didnt include the shipping charge

Not going to happen in the UK with the best will in the world. We do not get cheap watches here like in the USA. Our £ is a lot stronger than a $ even if it's American or Australian or whatever. Even at £2 it wouldn't work in my humble. You'd need to allow £5+ for UK buyers I would think but I could be wrong and nearly aways am

I am all up for spirit of adventure but I'll eat my cat, my car and my left leg if that watch sells for .99p

Well OK but there are a slew of Hong Kong and mainland China offers starting at $1.00 with $20-25 range shipping. The idea is they make more than enough profit on the shipping to cover their cost to produce and ship, so the final sale price is irrelevant to the seller.
