Mike,
I've used that seller a lot; no worries. They have 800+ items for sale,
mostly clock and weather products by La Crosse Technology [1]. It looks
like this eBay seller is their online retail store, as well as an outlet
for their overstock and refurbished items:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/274056463528
Seller: greatbigoutlet
Item location: La Crosse, Wisconsin, United States
Condition: Manufacturer refurbished
One of the complaints that I had about the La Crosse 404-1235UA-SS
UltrAtomic clock was that several of the ones I bought had misaligned
hands [2]. If you're into Lavet stepper motor watch movements using
optical feedback it's something you can fix yourself. The other solution
is to return it to the factory. It wouldn't surprise me that La Crosse
has a pile of these refurbished clocks for sale. Or maybe 1235UA just
never sold well; or maybe there's a new model coming; who knows.
And, yes, this is a deal for $35. They are so much better than older
WWVB clocks. AFAIK it is still the only LF radio clock that uses the new
eWWVB PM format. The smaller clocks and watches all use the legacy WWVB
AM format.

Hi Don -
I got two of them on eBay. I got these 274056463528 . They were only $35 each
with free shipping, a bargain in my opinion. Of course you can find smaller
diameter ones as well. 73 - Mike

I just purchased 2 of those La Crosse 14" clocks and was totally amazed. I live
on the Jersey shore on one acre surrounded by trees and about 8 miles from the
ocean. After I placed batteries in the clock, it went through its initially routine
which was neat in itself, and about an hour or less later the motors purred again
and it went to the exact time and continues to do so. This was on the first floor of
my Colonial in my office next to the computer and all sorts of other digital and
switching PS noise and only about a foot off the floor. My old Junghans Mega 1000
could never do that. I have to take it upstairs with me and place it by the front
(South facing) window of the master bedroom and sometime during the night it
acquires and corrects if need be. Regardless, I still like my Junghans, but this new
waveform is amazing. Thanks for mentioning it. Regards - Mike
