Would you buy new only?
In the last few months I went to buy three used watches. Here is what happened:
Watch #1: Thought it was missing the extra links. Both the seller and I freaked out at this discovery. Turned out I did not know what I was looking at. Watch was going to be a trade but mine was not up to par for the trade, and as this would be unfair the deal was canceled. Watch #2: Seller advertised it as "as new" and I specifically wanted a new watch. When I received it,the band was missing a piece, and though the paperwork was included, one of the papers was a repair order. All the original contents were not included and deal was amicably reversed. Watch #3: Upon receiving the watch in the mail, I unscrewed the crown to set the date and the crown popped out into my hand. Seller reluctantly agreed to a refund since he agrees it ought to have lasted more than five minutes. Now in all those cases we are still friends. No sellers are blackballed and no one has blackballed me. But it sure makes me look at paying full price from an AD with a different eye. |
