A butter tart, is a small open faced pie shell, filled with butter and sugar and raisins or pecans, very tasty, probably not good for you, but otherwise, a nice morning snack with my Tea...

Chronus Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Bingo.....to your calculations and do you still remember those old days at RWG I that Paul even confessed openly he's made millions in this trade? Explains his mythical (or not?) yacht. Remember there are rumours that the original Paul sold up his business (tp Chris Lin?). Perhaps he *did* make his milllions and retired. And for some unnecessary speculation - maybe it happened during the crazy sale - the change of ownership being the source of the problems of unsent watches being undelivered for a long time.

bigben Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 More power to them. I agree with several comments here that with the risks they take, the fact that to provide service to us they have to take the hit against losses in the mail, customs seizures and replacements for poor quality - that measured against the great reps we get - I am happy they are making money. Usil What risks? HAH! They very existence of such a plentiful counterfeit market in China is evidence that the Chinese government doesn't enforce the trademark/copyright laws. Check this out: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/01/26/...ain595875.shtml They are even counterfeiting golf clubs and Mercedes Benz!

2sweetau Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Counterfeiting in china is normal business..... The word risk is over emphasized here when discussing china based dealers. They sell illegal DVD copies of movies, bags etc in government shops. The Chinese government doesn't really care. They pretend they do but really they laugh at the other capitalist nations. Id say the dealers have they extensive kick backs they need to pay so i don't see dealers making millions. P.S Anyone ever heard to a watch shipment being stopped at customs in china. Can they do that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dak244 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I recently read an article about incomes in China, Shanghai and other Asian countries. Then it hit me! Let's say a dealer here on the board sells 10 watches every day (I know they have more channels to sell their watches and they probably sell more) but let's say on average 10 per day. I also read in the Guangzhou report (here on RWG) about the $95 Rolex Daytona .... so let's say that the average profit on a watch is $100,- (and again I know it's a lot more). If we do the math: 10 watches * $100 = $ 1000 (each day!) .....* 25 days (taking into account some days off ) = $25,000!!!! Compare that against the average monthly income in China (around $100~150 max.). And don't forget this is an underestimation. Personally I think the monthly income could also easily hit the $100,000 With this kind of money involved I do think our dealers are millionaires (even if it's only relative).... they earn an average monthly salary with one watch! What do you guys think?.... thoughts, insides, opinions? LOL.. I'm sure it's already been said, but I'm not in the mood to look through all the pages to find out... You need to remember the whole "revenue" vs. "profit" issue. Now I'm not saying that they pay a lot for the watches, but they obviously don't "make" 25k a month in profit...

slickdick Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 btw, money is not filthy, being rich is not filthy. But the Kindergarten math dont add up, however i am sure Paul would be interrested in this calculate-yourself-rich-math-model to recruit new resellers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I would say the average profit per watch will be around $10 to $30... maybe $50... but this depends on the watch... if you pay $150 for Submariner with ETA the dealer has to pay the Express-shipping... so there are only ~$120 left... the ETA movement isn't for free too... lets charge $30 for it so you have $90 left without the additional costs for the case, the guys who dropship the watches, the packing and so on... I think you'll find the wholesale price for loose pack ETA's would be more around the $10 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
