Liz, I was watching the original auction too (just out of curiosity) and thought the same. High for a WGF Strap model, but then again, it's one of the more attractive models, and you only get a handful of chances to get truly mint/NOS examples, so I can see it.
As for the relisting...ugh. I actually almost started a Strickland gripe thread in the chit-chat section but bit my tongue. For some reason, their practice of buying on eBay and then attempting to flip at eight-fold the price while contributing nothing but some old-timey background pictures really irks me, though it's none of my concern. It would be one thing if these were real undervalued finds (blurry pictures, wrong descriptions, misspelled titles), but they aren't. Anyway. That's actually why I included the original selling price in my post, in case somebody noticed it was the same watch.
