What happens when you discover a crapload of vintage Razorback melody watches in a warehouse? You put them dudes on eBay, that’s what. And since there’s nearly one hundred of both the silver ones and the gold ones, you can sell them for cheap as hell and still turn a decent profit. Nice!
That’s right, ya’ll. Get ‘em while you can. For only $2.95 each, these watches are sure to go quick. I mean, who doesn’t want a possibly-non-functioning, 80s-style, vintage Razorback watch in either silver or gold that’s still in it’s collectible plastic Razorback case (no sarcasm intended)?
We just ordered two silver ones which means there’s only about 90 something left. Right after we ordered, we realized there were gold ones as well so make sure you choose wisely.
Judging by the name, if we can get ours working with a new battery, we’ll bet these “melody watches” play our favorite fight song in crisp 80s quality digital tones. Yeah!

[UPDATE] It should be noted that we purchased and received two of these watches and had no luck with either of them after replacing the dead batteries. It should also be noted that the seller went to great lengths to make sure and mention that there was no guarantee whatsoever that they’d ever function again, with or without a new battery. It’s completely understandable, too, since popping the backs off of these things revealed at they had been originally put together in November 1980. They’re still, of course, a great Razorback collectible piece and for only $2.95, they’re a steal.

If they don’t work, you can always enjoy your vintage razorback watch replica bracelet.
