I'm just doing what the market dictates. The M-1 really needs to build more of a reputation and to do that, I need to get more feedback going (I have many watches recently shipped out, because the buyers were waiting for certain numbers to arrive). Maybe I shouldn't be selling it while I'm waiting for more feedback/testimonies, but I don't like them sitting around not selling either.
Actually this is one of the oddest seasons for LED watch sales, vintage or modern, that I have encountered on Ebay in 6 years. Some weeks are good, some weeks it seems like no one is on Ebay. Even SOME of Usicks auctions have been struggling. :)
I think I would attribute it to mostly one thing and that is the PS3. This is one of the hottest items on Ebay, and everywhere else; and when people are shelling out $1000's for them, there is little interest left for LED watches. New IPOD models and the X-Box 360 aren't helping either.
Then it's possible I made my watch too vintage looking and people would just assume have a vintage watch, but I'll say one thing...I've "hung up" all my vintage watches and I only wear the Majestyk now. It's not because it's my own watch; it's not because I'm promoting it (which I don't walk to stores doing so). I just plain love it and the number one reason I had it made was so I could put it on my wrist...IMO, the watches I modeled it after, pale in comparison. The only problem is I had to make 500 blue and 500 red. :) Even the factory thought I was going to walk away with the few samples that I had and made those samples run 1 minute fast per hour...Pretty sneaky!
Anyway, I'll apologize for shiting on your watch and flying off the handle a tad. From my POV, I just found it sort of maniacal that you went looking for that post and then rubbed my face in it...Ok that's how it seemed at the time. And as for the scrolling watch, it's just not my cup of tea. (And sorry to you too Troy but I can't like all of your watches, since you sell every freakin' LED! :). Oh and I sent a guy from the UK to your site today to buy a Duke, let me know if you made a UK sale). Why am I communicating to Troy here...I think I've gone mad.
So apologies accepted...Or not...I'll keep you hanging...:)
