If you get this before Sept 18th check Ebay Item number 260663896882 it is your clock and starting bid is US $9,500.00 or buy it now price is US $11,500.00. I think I'd insure that clock and set on it for awhile unless you need money and then I'd say you could make a good sum from it's sale.
Good Luck.
