I just started my collection. A hobby I've wanted to get into for years. Made the mistake of looking at them on Ebay

Hundreds of them there! But it's hard to actually catch a bargain, as I see them going for about what they go for in antique stores. Then you still have to pay shipping.
Paid $127 for this one off Ebay, puls shipping. Not a REAL bargain, but not too bad.
Any other horologist here?
