$90k, one transaction. I couldn’t even afford the sales tax :)

I hope you find a dealer. Seems like a good deal for both parties.

Call around to AD’s and make this offer...
Here we go—-

Purchase 228238 full price 34,850
Purchase 116618 full price 34,250

But.. at the SAME TIME a 116500 and 126710 must be purchased TOO!

Could an AD be found for this???

And if yes, how long would it take to find this AD?

-126710 Pepsi sells immediately for roughly 9,000 profit

228238- 34,850 msrp is now 22,850
116618- 34,250 msrp is now 22,250.
with tax, this is a $100K+ deal. I would think any AD will lick your n*ts to get this done.

What is the end goal though? I assume you don't want all 4 watches?

Also, no private party seller is making those "profit" numbers "immediately", or nearly ever. Call a scalper and see what wholesale value is on those pieces. I would guess you can take those "profit" numbers and cut them in half, at best.

Be advised that you are likely to lose your shirt if you unload the YG watches. They are hard to move and i'm guessing the wholesale to retail spread is significant enough to make it worthwhile for anyone to add them to their inventory and wait for a buyer.

let us know how it goes!

I don't see why any AD would not take you up on this offer. They just need the pieces in stock. Some mentioned getting discounts on the PM pieces, where I live, I don't think that's happening anymore. and don't forget to add sales tax.

If your goal it to sell the PM pieces, I see takuya has both pm pieces priced around $28k for either piece, so, If you resell the PM pieces you will not get your money back, so you have to decide how much you can afford to loose. Selling one of the steel sports might make it closer to even. But to answer your original question, yes I think an AD will do this deal if they have the pieces.
