Either way, all is good and I appreciate the feedback.

This is another thread that I should probably just shut up and go to bed...

Wow, the "chick" who makes her money selling Rolexes wasn't jumping up and down with excitement at the opportunity to authenticate a Rolex that she knows nothing about so that you can buy it from someone else?!

I know there is a ton of AD "hate" on here and some of them don't help themselves with thier attitudes but come on, they are working and trying to pay bills like all of us. Imagine that whatever you do for a living, half the people that come in are using you to get information to go to your competitor to save money?! (try asking a lawyer for free advice or having your doctor "just take a quick look at something").

As for never buying from an AD, while I agree that DavidW is one of the people on here that you never hear bad stuff about, he is getting the Rolexes from somewhere - so it's an AD or somewhere else.

To each their own - I have never paid near asking price at an AD, the 40% is their "goal" and a 25% discount is my "goal", we meet somewhere in between. The same way most of us have never paid sticker price for a car - it's all negotiable.

I really hope this doesn't come off bad- it is a bit sarcastic. I also do get frustrated at the bashing of "all" AD's lumped as one, I am in sales so I tend to get defensive of sales people and prefer to assume the best until proven wrong.

Have a good night all...the Mrs. is about to pull the cord from the wall :-)
