I think some of y'all might need to social distance while getting some fresh air.

Nah. The same exact threads pop up weekly.

If a Dealer acts in his own interest we call it doing business, if a private individual does it then they are all kinds of bad things. If the OP could truly afford the watch then it would not make a difference in his financial situation in that you would have traded cash for another asset, that is worth more than the cash paid, that is almost as liquid. We each do as we choose and I am sure another customer appreciates being able to buy the watch and make a tidy profit should they want to sell. A different view point.

Come to think of it, there's truth in this said here.
If he could afford the watch, it means he has a good financial stand and it won't take as much negative effect on the family.
I adopt this viewpoint.

I would have bought it if I had the money there. If you needed the cash in the next few months the worst you could do is get back what you paid for it but more likely make a profit.

I dont think its a good move at all, couldve bought it and let it go for retail well under market to a matr or family if u needed the cash

Many people won’t risk ruining their relationship with their AD.

It totally caught me off guard, and it sucks to have been waiting for some time to receive the call and unfortunately have to turn it down.

With the uncertainty of the times it just didn't feel like the right time to spend the coin on a new watch, especially with my family as a top priority. Could I afford it, yes, but I feel having the money sitting in reserve is a much more responsible decision at this time.



Oh well, I know it's the right decision but still bummed. When the timing is right the opportunity will present itself again.
