Price Increase.....purchase before ???

If prices go up at AD's in Sept or Oct........

And you were to purchase a watch that has been in stock for awhile or at least before the increase. Would the AD have any problem selling at the old price rather than the new price ?

Thanks

Would you sell something you got for $1.00 today if it costs you $2.00 to replace today and this is what you buy and sell?

I have seen this happen before if you've got a LONG time relationship with an AD and purchased right around the increase.

I wouldn't count on it though!

Usually as a short time incentive only (Sometimes). As the prices go up they sell based on what the new prices are. Just the way it goes I am afraid, just as any other good at any other place of business.
