let me just make it clear, that i have no problem with a markup. its more than obvious that there has to be a significant markup, because as ttk mentioned, there is risks involved etc. it does not make sense to sell 10 watches for a 10$ markup when you might get one back that you have to replace and one gets snagged by customs.
it just pisses me off when dealers like joshua and andrew start a cartel by fixing prices and trying to keep other dealers out of the game. it also pisses me off when they are mad at other dealers, because they offer watches at an affordable price (yet still with a big markup, which is okay).
just remind yourselfes of the "lowball" offer, aimed at a certain dealers sale, who was only selling ONE particular watch. all of a sudden they started lowballing him on THAT particular watch for a "limited time only".
