Strange Questions Ppl Ask

[tsetse]

Having sold a few watches on the net, some questions people ask me relli set me thinking, some classic examples:-

1) How much you got your watch after discount? (I can choose not to tell, cos how much discount is depending on my relationship with my AD) If you feel that I lose too little, then don buy from me. U can try to get a similiar or better discount YOURSELF.

2) Which AD and branch? (Hello? Is branch so impt?, If you have not confirmed to buy my watch, this information is not relevant to you)

The most recent question on which branch set me thinking and I replied and told the person the original receipt bearing the branch and purchase price will be handed over to the buyer upon the purchase.

Normally ppl ask me how much I buy, Im alright to share but the recent combo question not only price but also branch of my AD.......wah lao eh....
Wanna ask so much then get a brand new one lor. Don buy used.

Im ok with ppl asking questions, I have totally no problems with questions on how much U buy, etc, but the question that set me off, WHICH BRANCH did you purchase from??? Wah lao eh, is that impt?? Cannot stand some ppl at times, if the person read this post and dunwan buy liao then don buy lor. I don feel like selling to this person also.

if i ever sell my watch, i dont include original receipt.

couple of reasons

1) it bears the SE name, not that i mind, but these buyers can go potentially go to the SE in concern and ask for discount and dont buy watch. personally, it is ok to ask, but not to the extent of asking many times and no intention to buy.

2) it bears my personal information such as address etc which im not comfortable in providing. however, these days, i just ask them to put my working place address.

they want to know which branch maybe they want to go there next time to ask for good pricing. but they dont realize that to get certain tier of discount, it is based on the relationship you have with your AD.

I have met a few that insists on the receipt, but my AD don put my address nor his name only the branch cos printed on the letter head.

I have got no issues on this, but I find it relli funny that ppl ask which branch and like U mentioned, its not like U walk in anywhere can get same discount.

Anyways just to share and vent abit of my fustration haha.

I always tell buyers they dont need to know what price I bought at, as long as you find the price I sell agreeable. If I buy higher you are not going to pay me more and if I buy lower I am not going to sell you less.

There is a market price for most common models. Take that as ref.

When I buy, I also never ask such silly questions.

Which branch is absurd!

So far I have sold to only nice reasonable people.

I kena this question most often...

On the contrary, I think this qn is ok.

I mean, imagine the seller really sold it due to issues and hide this fact. you as a buyer after a few days encounter problems. Would you be happy to have to bring it back to service (assuming even have warranty?)

but of cos, the ans from the seller is based on trust. If he say no issues and later got issues within a week, then you know what kinda seller you met. Then in future can black list.

I think if we want to buy/sell watches in this manner, we have to accept the fact that we are likely to encounter such issues. I don't see any problem with such questions, as long as I know how to answer them appropriately. There are always reasons behind some questions; reasons that only the person asking will know. At the end of the day, as long as that person buys my watch, it really doesn't matter.

Allow me to quote the words of wisdom:

" In a perfect world, that would logically be how things should pan out. But seriously, we are talking about human beings and differences in personalities/morals do come into play here...that's why we have wars and conflicts in this world simply because everybody behaves/reacts differently from what you expect them to...

As I am writing this response, I am recalling the lyrics to DM's "People are People". Great song, great band

In short, there is no clear answer to your questions. Just take it easy mate " - daywalker88
