Random lots on Ebay

I'm curious to hear from anyone that checks outs Ebay auctions for random lots of old watches. Seems like every now and then there might be one watch in a lot amongst the beaters and fashion models that's actually good even if it needs a repair? Or am I just kidding myself ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's a nice idea, but at this point the risk of a box of watches I don't want doesn't interest me.

I heard of one person that got a legit Submariner out of a lot sale.

As good as Google is the chances of someone getting rid of something great have been massively reduced.

If I want to gamble, I'll go to Monaco. Hard pass.

I actually scored multiple times on lots like that, got some Tissots, Seikos, Citizens, baume & mercier, Certina, Bulova etc. And if a lot is a dud , just resell it, you'll usually return the money you invested so no harm done.

Never anything good on eBay lots.
