Hello all, I'm awaiting the arrival of my Daytona this coming Tuesday, I've been searching for Rolex magazine issue 1 about the Daytona but to no avail, anyone interested in a trade the Wynn provided me with issue 4 which is about the sky dweller?

LVSubmariner · 11 January 2016, 02:51 AM

Or any ideas on places that have them in store or on websites for sale? Only thing I can find online is eBay in the UK for $100 so that's dumb

$100 for something that was free....dumb

tma888 · 11 January 2016, 03:14 AM

If I may ask politely, what would be a reasonable price for you? :)

Cheers!

Justinmg · 11 January 2016, 03:36 AM

Yikes... The guy was just asking about something. I wouldn't wanna pay $100 for a free magazine either.

tma888 · 11 January 2016, 03:36 AM

Im pretty sure I have 2 copies...let me check.

thank you for being nice about it and seeing it from my perspective, no need to get crazy over things like this

I recall back in 2010, I bought a car that was a retro new model. The dealership brochures were difficult if not, impossible to get. I made an agreement with the dealer that upon buying the car, they'd get me that brochure. I ended up getting 2 copies. I tried selling one of them on one if the associated forusm and basically got my head chewed off for doing so.

I'm surprised selling a Rolex Magazine which in my opinion is a dealership brochure and is given out for free at an AD isn't getting the same kind of negative feedback here.

Jocke · 11 January 2016, 05:44 AM

I know examples of people who received the Rolex things from forum friends for free, which they then sold for premium.

So many of the generous people stop giving things away.

Maybe that is the reason you didn't have it?

Limited Edition, Collector's Item, Originally FREE, Out of Circulation = If you didn't get one of the limited release units be prepared to pay if you want one.

Supply / Demand...

adawil2002 · 11 January 2016, 06:08 AM

My issue #1 cost me over $6K! It came free with the watch I bought after flipping an unused DJ. $100 is a deal!

I can list a million things that are free and limited supply and high demand increases the value. Econ 1 on 1.

Best of luck finding one!

PS. I have one, I enjoy it and wouldn't sell it to you even for $100, even if you think that is dumb DS

Rolex addict · 11 January 2016, 07:23 AM

Absolutely an issue of supply and demand. If you don't want to pay, you don't get the magazine.

sheldonsmith · 11 January 2016, 07:35 AM

From what I recall, if you have an iPad, there is the Rolex Daytona app that from what I remember, had the same copy/images of the Daytona as Perpetual Spirit #1. Requires ipad to view..

Whatever bro, don't care

VinnieVegas · 11 January 2016, 08:08 AM

I picked up a copy this past summer for $30, including shipping, on eBay. I used some eBay bucks, so I think it probably cost me about $ 25 total. A fair deal. They show up on ebay now and then. I wouldn't pay more than $30, but that's just me. Good luck!

Supply / Demand...

Considering my lack of posts, I should stay out of this! But I've always thought Econ 101 should be a High School requirement. Then people would understand why things cost what they do, and that high prices don't "cause" inflation. Not saying that you can't think it's stupid to pay for something that is free, more power to you

- just saying there are good reasons for it, called the Laws of Supply and Demand and it is what it is.

The classifieds here and eBay are full of old Rolex stuff that was once free and is now selling for significant sums. Brochures, booklets, all kinds of things...people would pay for paper cups if they had a genuine Rolex logo on them.
