Cortman's Custom eBay Searches

Per a recommendation on Discord (you really should join if you're not on already, great watch talk happening 24/7) I am posting a few of my custom ebay searches here. I'll update the post as I update and refine the search criteria. All these are sorted by time ending soonest, so you can get a better idea what the actual sale price will be and to enable impulsivity. 😈 😂

1. Solid Gold vintage watches- sorted by time ending soonest for the same reasons as above. This is for men's and women's watches, you can refine it men's easily enough. This searches for a wide variety of key words related to solid gold and excludes a lot I've come across that mean plated and otherwise. If you're interested in solid gold, there are some real deals to be had here- not inexpensive, but high value IMO.

2. All used watches- for when you just can't get enough. Anything used, men's and unisex, with the same bad sellers excluded.

3. Used watches with a very high likelihood of having the original box and/or paperwork. Anything used, men's and unisex, with the same bad sellers excluded.

Personally, I screen out those for bidding, just focus on those buy it now. I don't believe the sellers will fulfill with those too good to be true price to bidders. I dont have much experience in bidding though.

Thanks for pinning this! I have updated the used and vintage searches with another dozen or so sellers blocked.

The "all watches" search has been updated with quite a few more blocked sellers and exclusions for fashion brands- nixon, guess, tommy bahama, etc.

Holy crap those are some advanced skills. You are the yoda of ebay searching.

The all used watches link not working for me, but the gold watches search does.

Thank you! I just realized the shorturl.at links weren't working for some reason- updated to Tinyurl and it's working fine now.

I usually do, but on higher end stuff like JDM Seikos you can get some great deals on auctions.

Alright I've added a new one that I've been experimenting with lately and seems to be working pretty well- used watches with box/paperwork/full kit. It's a pretty broad search (as are most of my searches) so that you don't miss hidden gems, but the tradeoff is there's a bit more scrolling through horological chaff.
Enjoy!

Great resource and I appreciate the effort. Time to go digging for a gold watch.

Loved going thru these searches but the links appear to be broken now, any chance you could post updated ones? Thanks again so much for sharing!!
