Of course, it works both ways. I repair and collect old clocks as a hobby.
I just bought the exact movement I needed for an old clock I'm working on
for $63 + $7 shipping. The same movement (if it could even be found) would
sell for $100 to $200. It just shows that you better know what you are
bidding on (a bit of self-restraint is important, too).
