Icon20 Federico talks watches makes a video about losing $10,000 MISLEAD click bait

He talks about how a customer was way out of line but I personally had a chat with him on the phone couple of years ago , I told him that I had a watch I want to sell and I was going to call david sw to get a price on it too , as soon I said that he had a baby tantrum That he doesn't play that GAME , his tone and his attitude got rude and saying I was playing around . I just couldn't understand that what game I was playing . How much more honest could I have been saying that whoever gives me the best price I will sell to them PERIOD .thats all , no going back and forth on the price , very simple I thought .all he said was you are calling david sw to get a price than I am not going give you a price and got piss off. Than I just said TY very much and have a nice day . What does he wants , people just call him and whatever price he gives and we sell to him and not check others fir a price

Sorry guys that in the video I didn't mention that how he talks about how a customer was Very rude and how he didn't sell him the watch so he lost $10,000. First he didn't lose $10,000 , he lost a $10,000 sell , It seems like some of the dealers on YouTube are not what they portrait to be.

I somewhat understand what your saying here. Better to shop around and get an estimate then to sell to the first offer you get. Always list higher than what you expect to get as well, everyone does it.

Sucks to hear about your experience.

Maybe post about it in watch out section. This Frederico and your experience really has nothing to do with Rolex General Discussion.

Yes it is Mystro, I been on the sideline way over 10 years , I seen very good Conversations and I seen some not nice Conversations over the many years. I have seen many Threads that I don't agree with over the years but I still wouldn't have said rude things , but everyone has there own ways of doing things

I don’t believe anyone was rude - if anything the Mods have been patient.

This OP brings forth a story that’s 2 years old about a non-deal that didn’t happen on TRF and is a time wasting exercise.

My thought is this: talking about dealer D while during a negotiation with dealer F is unwise. As for the reaction by dealer F - well that’s his business.

There must been a reason why I never join before , small little rude comments aren't necessary , there is many very nice members here but also few not so happy members. I will sigh off as member here ,

Why not just comment under the video itself to give your side of the story. Seems no one on here is interested.

I was just going to write that.

Curious as to the thought process of how this ended up on TRF

This OP wasn't written well but he didn't really understand how the market works.

You don't tell a vendor that they will price match, they will tell you. So by saying I will check with your competitor then tell you what they offer for you to meet or beat, it was insulting. Also, he has no way of knowing if what you tell him was truthful. You could make up a number. So it's pointless to even bring it up.

Their job is to set a price, and your job is to make an offer. Vendors don't care about other vendors or how good of a deal you've gotten or haven't gotten anywhere else.
