Nelson clock on ebay... 1 hour left  

If I didn't have a same era electric model of this
I'd jump on it.
Good luck to the rest of you

I'd say someone got a good deal
Sold for $175 - hope it was someone from here. Funny thing, I was going to bid up to 180, but decided not to.
Barry, what do you think this clock is worth?

Well, I'm not Barry, but I...
Well, I'm not Barry, but I think it's probably worth what it went for. It's not in very good shape -- the only real saving grace is that it's a wind-up that still (purportedly) keeps accurate time.

I didn't bid on this, but I must admit I would've hated if someone 'outed' an auction that I was bidding on like that...
I think it's ok to inform someone you know who really wants the item, but this forum is not exactly limited to the few people who actually posts here...
Just my thought.

I agree
but if I saw a clock I didn't want to bid on, I'd surely mention it here, especially if I found it in a strange place on eBay.
Wind-ups can be tricky. I have three wind-ups and each of them needed expensive repair.
Two needed cleaning ($45.00 each) and one's in the shop and I was told it has a broken wind spring and I haven't heard back it can be fixed or not. If so, it'll probably cost me $70.00 for the repair, or he'll have to replace the wind-up motor with a battery motor, which will be a drag.
So, anyone bidding on a wind-up type clock, proceed with caution. No one's making the same type of wind-up motor anymore and if yours can't be fixed, it would have to bne replaced.
