Raijor Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Nothing funny has happened to me but my last experience selling a watch was very bad. That is why I am not going to sell any of the watches I no longer wear, instead I am just going to give them to people who will appreciate and wear them. I am not in the business of making money from reps I just want to enjoy this as a hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I always enjoy putting up a for trade option just to see what I will get. At least a few times I've had a watch going somewhere between 600 and 800 (usd) and will get something like this. "I have this totally cool Invicta dive watch with a very precise miyota movement, I could even add 50 if I have to" It has happened so many times,,when I do offer up a trade I even say,,,"no invicta divers with miyota movements,,I already have one" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Tourby, those stories are hilarious! I especially liked the one about the low battery. And perhaps the guy who bought the twelve $1000 movements wasn't crazy.... Thanks, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

predfan2001 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I guess my only funny story is about my old gen SMP. After it became the "Bond" watch, I had to have one. I was surprised to find that they carried them at Costco and they had thr cheapiest price so I bought one. Eventually I grew tired of it and in early 2002 I listed it on eBay with a buy now of $850.00. It sold and I just couldn't find a watch that I was satisfied with so after about a year, I said screw it and looked on eBay for another Bond SMP. I found one buy in now for $800.00 so I bought it. When it arrived it looked just like my old one..I mean just like it! The insert scratch near the crown. The nick in the bezel at 6. I went into the other room and dug out my eBay paperwork to see who I sold my SMP to. Guess what? I had bought my watch back from the same guy I sold it to. I emailed the guy and he got a chuckle out of it to. He said he just never wore the watch and it sit in his drawer because it felt too big on his wrist.
