Trusted seller question
Are trusted sellers prices pretty firm or do the have a lot of wiggle room? Talking pre-owned SS.
Thanks |

It never hurts to ask... That said, I've found most of them to be pretty aggressive on pricing, so don't expect much. Know the market before asking so you can target a realistic offer. Check WatchRecon for similar pieces.

I think it depends on too many factors to give a general answer. If you're interested in a particular piece it does not hurt to ask the seller and see if you're a buyer at that price.

Bought my new to me day date from a trusted seller about a week ago. Great experience and watch exceeded my expectations. Can't say enough good things !

They will let you know if price is firm.. Just politely ask. But mine drove quite a ways to meet me face-to-face so I felt his price was more than fair.

I'm not that type of guy. I just find the price I want. Eventually someone has it.

Don't think they'll budge, especially on SS. It'll be sold in the next week anyway...

Some have more wiggle room than others. Doesn't hurt to ask. What can they say? No? Most of them I have worked with have been very professional and straight forward.

You can always ask. The worst they can say is no. They are straight shooting guys.

Their prices are already so good and I'm sure their profit margin lean that I pay the asking price.
The ease of buying what I want in my underwear with the elastic band ripped out while eating a bowl of cheese doodles makes it all good. |

I have always been happy with their prices (compared to an AD) that I've never even asked. That's not to say, the more I buy, I might be inclined to ask.

Preowned SS is pretty firm typically. Depending on the piece, ask for 300-500 be willing to accept 1-200 off.
