I’d be curious to know if you could actually get your premium back if you were to sell as a private seller. A lot of people pay the premium from trusted sellers because they are trusted sellers. I’m sure you could get a little premium back but I wouldn’t be surprised if you lost a grand or 2 off of what you paid already. It’s the people that bought at retail that are flipping that are making out. So in that regard imo the premiums aren’t worth it |

Oh totally agree. I can’t right now sell privately for what I paid (not that I want to). But I think I could get 85% of market, which would be a good portion of the premium back. And if market goes up and I sell at 85 percent of that new price I could get it all back - or more. Now what if market drops back to MSRP. Well then I’m out 6k. A lot of unknowns but the worst that could happen is something I was comfortable with. I’m not economically reliant on recouping that premium. In theory I wouldn’t mind waiting if the wait was a known factor. Like if you said it would def be a year and you’re guaranteed the watch I’d be like oh ok. I don’t need instant gratification. But for me I wasn’t even granted a waitlist spot. Another factor here is I traded towards it. Suppose the bubble does burst. Then what I traded for it would prob decline in value commensurately also. But who knows. In any event I’m in love with the piece and I’m ok with what I did, so it did work out for me. But I get other opinions also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
