I got pulled over by three CHP cars because the CHP plane had clocked me at "speeds in exes of 160 and never below 115 miles per hour for over twenty minuets." I got away with an 80mph in a 70 zone and a fix-it ticket.
Hands down my "best steal ever."

What a bunch of hypocrites.... the job of the pawn shop is to buy items as cheap as possible and sell them for as much as possible. I'm sure you doctors and lawyers on here only charge a fair rate of $20 an hour right? I'm sure you tech guys only sell your internet company for a a few percent more than what it cost you to develop right? No one would buy stock cheap and sell it high would they?
And this is coming from a cop who does not particularly like pawn shops, but geez... |

In a nutshell, and some of the more conservative crowd will disagree....the guy had me into his home, I met his wife, his kids, I live in the same neighborhood, his story was very plausible....and I got a good feeling.....so I trusted it, and it paid off! And yes, it could have went sideways, but it didn't, and I was willing to accept that risk. I am by no means an expert, but I was educated about what he was selling. |

Tudor's are quite SOFT right now on preowned market. Hard CASH on the Datejust complete is around $3200 - $3500. So the purchase was below market, but again, given it was a pawn shop, it is an understandable BUY price. |

As I said, nobody held a gun to the seller's head. They are free to check the market and other shops, come back and sell to the highest bidder. |

The very nature of free trade is that you end up with a deal that both parties agree on, nobody is making people sell low. If the sellers aren't happy with the price they are receiving, they will go elsewhere.

Pawn shops typically pay about 40% of anticipated sale price. I wouldn't EXPECT to get more than $3000 for a blue Pelagos regardless if its box and papers and basically new. $1200 likely was the initial offer from the store. Do you all honestly think a pawn shop can offer anywhere near retail and stay in business? If you need quick, easy cash, they can make that happen.

I bought a 14060m four liner last September for £3200. It was a July 2012 bought from ernest jones in the Midlands and the seller had just spent £1k on a service. It still had the stickers on it.
Full set with original receipt for £4300. Absolute steal!!! It must have been one of the last few to be sold in the U.K. |

Wow, there is a lot of moral superiority being thrown around over a couple consensual watch deals. Not to mention a lot of assumptions and stereotypes on pawn shops.
