Clocks on vzaar: ticking along nicely.
If you'd told me a few months ago that clocks would be one of the items we would see a using vzaar on eBay a lot, I'd have given you a ticking off. But in the past month or two we've seen loads of sellers chiming in with videos of beautiful and exotic timepieces and chronometers.
And it does make sense. Clocks have moving parts (hands and mechanisms) and they usually make a noise (bells, cuckoos and ticking) and when you consider that some of them reach handsome prices, it's a no brainer.
Don't take my word for it, check out these videos. Guaranteed to impress even the most hard-nosed horologist. (Tip: Play all the videos at the same time and it's like that bit on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, or the scene at the start of Back to the Future in Dr Brown's lab.)
Comments
I'm a little sceptical about the use of video in eBay auctions (how many listings really benefit from it?) but the chiming and cuckoo clocks are great examples where video can transform a listing.
Not so sure about the other two!
