Watch Winder On Ebay? Any Good?
I have been hunting for a watch winder that will accomidate at least 8 watches. I found one on ebay which I can pick up for about $100, but I know you get what you pay for. I have read his ebay feedback and everyone seems to be happy with the winders that he sells. Have any of you guys purchased this one or can you steer me in the right direction. Here is one of his listings. Please let me know what you think.

Did you notice the shipping cost?
I just ordered their 2+3 model for $23.00.
Then I noticed the shipping was also around $20.00. I am curious to see how much the shipping actually costs - I am guessing I was ripped off. Oh well, at least the winder got a few good reviews. |

Shipping costs also include any seller "paperwork" costs before you go accusing him of ripping you off.

I bought from this seller. His shipping charge was outrageous, but the total price of $79 to my door was reasonable, I thought. Working like a charm.

I've had one for a couple of years too. It's been flawless thus far. So much in fact, I bought the single head winder to take with me on vacation

$20 shipping is nothing, now going to post office shipping something over 2oz are more than $2 already, when you buying, using the total price that you pay compare you buying from local shop, i seem brookstone selling the same winder for over $200, while you can get it from that seller from ebay for $43, you do the math. oh, i seem that guy selling winder with battery operated, i bought it to keep my watches inside the safe, pretty good deal...
