Not sure if it's again in the allowed section but have any others had dealers try to mark up themselves? (no names)
So your name comes up and then they try to mark it up 30-40-50 percent? I guess it's jealousy of the aftermarket markup (that THEY are supposed to control) but not a way to treat a regular customer.
I'm not sure if I understand you question well
but if you talk about some retailers showing a higher price than MSRP, I don't like that either but I'm not sure it is that unfair. I tried to get a few watches that were limited. If they had been proposed to me, I wouldn't have bought them a single € abo...
London pieces. Mark I assume you saw this....
Don't know the circumstances but another flip. ...
Yes, we see them from time to time
The different limited editions, though they can also be sold to the onwer's convenience, are made so close from the event's period that it is not something I appreciate as well. Not something we can do much about. From what I see the wide majority of owne...
Patek ADs
would normally follow the recommended retail price (RRP) strictly irrespective on how desirable a watch may be. They will risk losing their right to supply Pateks should they not follow the RRP. Saying that, about 10 years ago I came across a Patek AD in ...
Same with the Patek and Rolex AD
In Egypt,They have in stock a 5131R and asking double the Daytona is 50% over retail as well.I refused both as much as I like them, I can't buy a watch with such premium specially if it's still in production. Best, Ahmed
I agree...
If you'rea regular loyal customer it's pretty crazy to profiteer like this. At 40% margin a dealer makes over 27k on 5131. I understand suppLy and demand and the profit motive but that other dealer will never see me again unless it's something I can't get...
I salute you Anthony!
for not having sold a single piece of any brand! This I have never heard of before and I am in awe of your self discipline as I am of your available funds! It is for the reasons above that although I am a Malaysian and will be retiring to Malaysia in one ...
Wow
If my AD marked the price like this I would go ballistic. I am not sure what PP policy is, but I can't imagine them liking this type of action.
I doubt
if any manufacturer will like this type of action but I would have thought that they would have better control over the ADs. Perhaps when I return to Malaysia I should apply to become a Patek AD!
