6542 (ca. 1959) On Ebay


ubiquitous

Recommended Posts

It's just interesting to see a 6542 in this price range in that kind of condition. The last one that I recall seeing in this price bracket was the one from the Mondani sale; far better condition and provenance in my opinion. Typically, 6542's might be half the price of this auction or a bit less. I just don't see what elevated this one to the price threshold that it ended at.

Of course, with eBay's new format on bidder history, there's no real way of telling if shills were involved either...

I actually think that the new format helps to identify potential shill bidders. If you check out the "Bidding Details", you can see things like:

  • How long they've been registered
  • Total bids in 30 days
  • Number of different items bid on in 30 days
  • % of bids with the particular seller
  • Number of bids in unique categories

With this information easily available, I think it would be much harder for an unscrupulous seller to set up, and maintain, shill accounts.

Oh, no... This is certainly not going rate! A nice example, clean case, bakelite, running and WITH A SECONDS HAND :rolleyes: would probably command $6k to $10k on the very high end... And as I mentioned prior, the only example I've seen sell in this price range was from the Mondani Auction... Completely different class.

Sorry M, I agree it's a scam auction, but the movt shown here (1030) WAS used in the first 6542s, as was the later COSC c.1065.

yes but i don't see all the modified parts ... i would like to see the other side....

and more ...it's so strange to see a 6542 to this evaluation... that it seems a scam... only for this reason and only cause the winner has a stealth feedback.... it's more easy that it's a normal 1030.... it's too clean....

i'm back DOc...covert operation are in progress....eheheh
