Itty Bitty Alarm Clock

[tamrock]

This was $3.00, I thought it was so cool. It has a mechanical Swiss watch movement and a small electrical alarm that is very loud and sounds like a giant hornet just outside your ear. You set the alarm by the bezel to the time by the red hand and pull the stem. I set it to go off at 5AM in the morning as I wanted to see the effect it would have at waking me up.. Let me tell ya!, it does the job. My wife awoke and said what in the "" is that? and shut it the "", O F F - N O O O O O O W W W .... She didn't at all think it was funny, Whoops!. I do know now it sure is effective.

You got to be kidding me $190+ usd I was thinking I'd keep it in my small miniature clock collection? Now what will I do? it's worth to much to have in my collection. :-(

I would use the exact same photo if you elect to sell it on the bay. It is a great pic that makes a statement.

The item is worth what ever the market will bear. You bought it for 3 dollars so that day it was worth 3 dollars not $200 Keep the 3 dollar clock and be happy

I'll probably sell it some time with the few other little clocks. I did find out this Nepro was an early maker of micro electronics in the 60's along with small time pieces. I didn't bother looking what they sold for as I was thinking it was in the 18 to 25 dollar range. I'd be happy with 50 bucks on it. Its a good example of what you can find in a thrift store, you just never know what you may come by.

Yes, an item is worth whatever the market will bear. However, the item is not worth $3. It was not sold on the open market. It was sold privately at $3, far below the "market value".

If he wanted to feel better about it then yes he could sleep easy knowing that he only has $3 tied up in it and if he ever needed some money, he could sell it and make a tidy profit.

That day it was worth $3 to the person that sold it and didn't have a clue as to the actual market value. To compare a garage sale price to market value is ludicrous.
