any how any how..

im not going to debate if buyer is lucky/unlucky or smart/not so smart. take for example. my friend recently want to purchase a E1, THG offer no discount initially but after saying so-so recommend me here, the sales staff offer 5% discount. so friend walk around and went to another different AD offering 15% for the same model. a check with THG staff is that they are given strict instructions not to give beyond a certain discount for certain models.

first you talk about 7100-7400 pricing which is that of a SS Sub. then you went on to talk about TT GMT II C asking why got ppl selling 14k.

there are 2 different products aka different models. so how to have to a common base line of comparison?

ok, i took the liberty to call my AD. list price of TT GMT IIc is 14171 with 15% discount. so if now get, 12045. however, do understand one thing, when a watch is first launch, sometimes AD do not give any discount. so buyers may have bought @ that price or perhaps even higher. so if they bought above 15k and now wanting to sell @ 14k, i can understand their pricing.

there are other possible scenarios which im not aware. i have not check the watches on sale in this forum or other forum, so i cannot comment if their selling price is appropriate or not because i dont know the age of watch, i dont know the condition of watch, i dont know the package they are selling to make any further comments.

half agree. if the person is one of the few nut to buy when it just came out but he will have to understand the MARKET isn't it? when you buy a car during the coe is high can you expect to sell at abt the price you buy? even now houses is ex but if you bought during 1997 now you may just break even some even still lose up so we have to study the market before strike don't you agree? okay take a exp 116400GV when it just came out you know how much was the record? 24k!!! so you trying to tell me if the person buy that time now if he post for 21k you will feel is alright is it?

we would all like to say that online pricing should have better pricing compared to a brick and motar shop. why? there is no physical shop front to pay 'rental'.

however, seller will want to maximize profit. also, they may have to take the watch to meet several buyers instead of a shop where the customers come to view the watch instead. so if the online seller goes about showing potential customers, who is covering their transportation costs? who is going to cover their opportunity costs?

the pricing dictated varies from sellers to sellers. there is no clear cut answer. some may price lower so that can sell fast, some price higher because not in a hurry to sell. there are many factors to consider.

that is why i said before, before buying a watch, do homework and see what is the pricing that sellers are selling. then decide what is the appropriate price you like to buy. then it is up to you to pick and choose which seller you want to deal and negotiate if have to.

one final question do you guy admit online is a place where should be having better price comp to outside market? exp: hmm.. okay sub with date take it as buy in is at $7400 after 2year when i want to sell it off preown shop will take in around 5500-5800 aft over hall they will sell at abt 6600 and tell you very new the condition, so online is a place to let seller sell higher and buyer buy lower at abt 6k-6.2k is the fair price but ppl here anyhow anyhow whack post at 7k say FRIM want sell to ghost meh

Nobody can force someone to buy at any price.

The best is to ask around and perform umpteen consideration(s) before any purchase.

Then sit back with popcorn and watch as the seller tries to post funny things on his thread abt false offers, then buyer back out, repost, lower price, price firm here firm there but keep reducing. Quite fun to watch no need anger-li

well said...tat why i enjoy to log in to "garage" and explore around...

$7400 OR $8228 is not whether lucky or not is the matter of smart or stupid sry if i have being to open in my word using but i really feel so.


okay i shall answer u now buy a week, wear two time, in super mint condition i would to sell at 7100-7400. i will post 7.4k and let ppl nego abit the max i let go will be 7100 but this is all when the watch is within few week to a month or two.

got ppl selling gmt2c TT at 14k, why is it so huh? you may want tell me "let him sell lo" but the fact is all these ppl treat us like a fool in the very beginning. over price seller i know does exist but market rate now is at least $12k+ what i state here still got room to move one but preown asking 14k why why why???

U cant control what price pple wanna list their stuff. We also cannot control the appearance of 'Roberts' as well as 'Roberts hunters'

lets just say that no one wants to lose money as well as the fact that sellers wanna buy low, while buyers wanna sell high. if cant compromise, then just wait for another deal loh.

buyers can argue till the cows come home and justify why they price so high while sellers will also KPKB till donkey years. This is the same for most goods, not only watches.

so if the price doesnt suit you, just move to the next seller or item

Then sit back with popcorn and watch as the seller tries to post funny things on his thread abt false offers, then buyer back out, repost, lower price, price firm here firm there but keep reducing. Quite fun to watch no need anger-li

like your saying dude im just trying to teach high flyer not to OVEr fly

[michelle]

U mus oso understand tat nt everyone can get the same discount. I've heard pple having bought the Sub at $8,228. Some lucky ones at $7,400, and the nt so lucky ones at $7,800. And all these was within a month or two period.

So, say u bought a watch at 8,228, wore once and 'cold storage' it for a week. Then u intend to sell. How much r u willing to sell it at?

dun understand what the ranting is all about....if the price is not right for you,just search for other pieces....if you worried kana chopped then buy new from local AD...simple case...afterall rolex sub is easily available mah....

[michelle]

okay lets talk abt sub s.steel retailing at $8228 outside easily could get at $7800 but we have to understand 10% is also a chance so from where you think should or can sell at $7600? okay for exp: gold is high now we all know but if given you a chance to buy at $56 and sell at $58 per G win or lose? i can tell you 100% you will lose up bcos of GST and setting fee. within 6month price is abt 5% less from market price (and not retail) within a year is abt 10% then i feel is okay as watch need service just like car.. and offshore every where throwing at 30% if ppl online sell at same price how will you feel bro? one is from local AD and another is from don't know where, dont know wear before anot.

I agree and disagree. Agree - If shops sell 11k and pte seller sells 15k, then something is not right. Disagree - If someone buys 7.8k and sells at 7.6k, then I dun see anything wrong.

[feilong108]

ya lor...no need to get so worked up mah....

[Muachee]

lelax lar.. why stress yourself.. just ignore it if you think the price is not right..
