Lots for sale lately? Economic changes?

I’m pretty new here and the first couple of months I saw nothing for sale. If I did it was gone in seconds or minutes. Lately seems a lot has come up for sale. “Superfrankens”, super high end pieces, models that usually are gone quickly. I managed to scoop up a few that have been eyeing for quite some time. At Lower prices that have been before. What do you think is the big sell off? Money woes? Economic concerns? Supply chain eased up? Thoughts?

Maybe their missus caught them with their fifth / secret watch box & said they go or I do :)

Or maybe people just want a change and have a new project in mind. Some members enjoy the actual build process, sourcing the parts, the hunt etc, so when complete, a new idea is probably forming, so it starts over.

All depends, but if it means you get a good deal, locally, with minimal effort other than a few clicks, I wouldn't be questioning it too much ;)

It's like moon phase. At times very few, but then somehow everyone decide to sell their discontinued rarely pieces and flooding the M2M at a short period of time. RWI circle of life.

I am personally selling to fund a new project. Normally I would have just thrown more money at it but with the glooming future have decided to let go of some stuff to help hake it happen. So a little of both.

I have noticed a few interesting models pop up lately as well, the breitling heritage 57, the new omega deep PO, the new tudor TT GMT and the CF rootbeer are having me consider what else I can purge (1 in 1 out sorta thing)
