There seem to be a lot of wrist watches on eBay that have starting bids of one penny. Sellers that start watches at one penny usually have high shipping prices to make their profits and lower their eBay fees.

Shipping charges for the wrist watches that start at a penny look like they average fifteen or sixteen dollars. I think that if I were looking to buy wrist watches, I would search eBay Stores to find one.

When I did a search for wrist watches in the eBay Stores, I found Greg's Pocket Watches and Books. It was far and away the biggest eBay store for wrist watches.

Greg's Pocket Watches and Books have more than six hundred wrist watches in his eBay store. The highest priced wrist watches are all $24.99. I know that he picked this price, instead of $25 because that is the line of demarcation for a higher listing fee.

My search for wrist watches in Greg's Pocket Watches and Books store turned up something unusual. There seems to be an entire market devoted to advertising. Somehow, I'm not surprised because the almighty dollar and products are both things to worship.

The vintage advertising for wrist watches is really very interesting. I saw a cool magazine ad for sale that depicted a Captain Marvel wrist watch from 1949. Greg has this for sale at a price of $24.99.

I'm really not sure what you are supposed to do with ads for wrist watches. The only thing that I can imagine is that they are put into protective pages and inserted into an album. Maybe the advertisements get framed, I don't know.

I went back to the original eBay Stores search page and found a store named Bel-Mart that sells new wrist watches. The first few wrist watches on the list of items in his store are Russian. I do think that the oddest wrist watch in his store has a hammer and sickle for the hour and minute hands.

I also visited the eBay store that was last on the search result list for wrist watches. Tashi Tai Treasures 4 Pets or Women have brand new purple suede wrist watches. Nothing says classy like a purple suede wrist watch.

It is interesting the diversity of items in a store that sells wrist watches. Tashi Tai Treasures 4 Pets or Women sell some really strange things for dogs. The oddest thing that I saw for sale in their eBay store was the extra small pink and yellow ruffle sun dress for dogs.
