Thoughts on this Jubilee

That BIN seems curiously low...

Extra fees totally kill that deal .....

Because the seller participates in the GSP program, the hammer price is just part of it.
With a totally honest shipping declaration (like we all do), final costs for me to buy that bracelet would be ...

$270.00 Hammer price
$ 24.09 Shipping
$ 73.40 GSP fees
$ 50.00 Bio-security levy (charged at my end)
$ 62.62 GST tax at 15% fee (charged at my end)

$ 480.11 Total cost


I'm still getting my head around the GSP fees but upon enquiry, three eBay sellers have now told me - Yes I must pay it.
This means I avoid all eBay sellers when GSP fees feature in their sales blurb.

And 62510H bracelets don't trade for big bucks anyway - I'll buy mine through the forums

Love the breakdown! Thanks much, Paul.
Mercifully, the last three fees you mention wouldn't apply to me since both the seller and I are in the states.
THAT said, is $270 plus shipping reasonable, do you reckon?

"one issue is that I was unable to remove some of the link screws,"

Yes indeed, if so, it's libel to ruin your day.

Is $270 a fair price for a US based buyer ...

A fella on VRF was asking $380 + shipping for a comparable bracelet just a few weeks back .....

If you can tick all boxes re. authenticity and the eBay bracelet is totally useable as-is, $270 might be a sharp price.
Be wary of the seller's claim of minimal stretch though, that is usually why bracelets are swapped off a watch.
Add to that a declared problem with the link screws and it may be rebuild time for that bracelet.
It's always gonna be a punt with a bracelet like that one - sometimes ya win though

A heat gun will remove any stubborn screw. Check with the seller and make sure the head isn't damaged preventing the use of a screwdriver.

Price seems reasonable for the listing.
