FREE: Cute watch

I love this watch!!
but I'm nervous...
Do you happen to have some reasons to be "as sure as possible" that it will work fine once a battery is put in?
I've been falling for too many second-hand watches without batteries (here and at garage sales) and I go spend the $10 and the poor little watch then needs cleaning or additional work I can't afford. Yesterday I even passed up a $2 one at a garage sale.
I believe the sellers offered the watches to me honestly, in totally good faith, but... maybe the watch had been sitting in a drawer for 10 years? I don't even know if that would hurt a watch! LOL!
So... just asking. Maybe you have a bit more of its life story, like when you stopped wearing it or that you had it cleaned 3 years ago or that angels sometimes whisper in your ear, and here is what they say... (^_^)
I'm like Mulder on X-Files. "I want to believe..."
Thanks!

PS: For the future, and to any fellow Listians who feel kinda' like I do, here's an idea I tried:
First, to be clear, I myself have offered "needs battery" watches on Listia and don't see anything "wrong" with that, at all.
But recently, I did something that worked out great. I went to a neighborhood jeweler with a nice second-hand watch I found at a garage sale, and he agreed to put a new battery in for me (for only $5, don't know why!) and he promised to take the new battery right back out and not charge me if it didn't instantly make the watch start running. (Hooray for "local businesses!")
Turns out the watch DID work fine, with its new battery ... and IMO the Listia bidding on a working watch went enough higher that it repaid the $5 I had spent.
Just a thought for all of us. Cause I think Tasha is probably right that this watch, even not working, could be worth an 8,000 GIN. But imagine, next time, if it worked! I bet it would have 30 people "watching."
(That last pun was an accident, I promise.)

I have had the watch for about 4 years. I took a battery out of another watch that I have, one that my best friend gave me, and put it in this one to make sure it works. I wanted to make sure that it did and that it kept time. I left the battery in it for a coupledays. The watch kept perfect time. I didnt want to list something that didnt work. So I made sure it did before I posted it.

P.S. Im sorry I didnt put all this in when I posted the watch.

Tasha:
Thank you so much for answering! I was a little worried my comments might hit you wrong. It is SO COOL that you tested the watch before listing it! BRAVO to you!
peace
