Cannot Be Trusted!!!!

[LimTH]

Hi Everyone,

Just wanna share a horrible experience earlier today at a watch shop in Bencoolen St, B..... T...

Datejust 116200/M Oyster Bracelet (preowned May 08, Overseas AD) asking $5900 card / $5600 cash.


Run a quick check with local AD, $5800 cash!!!!!BRAND NEW!!!!!!

Just to caution forumers, just cannot trust all preowned shops, though they dress well, good shopfront. Also means they got SHARP Chopper & Board waiting for carrots & radishes...

errr.... why do u say "cannot be trusted"? did they mislead u?

from what i read, their price was more than AD's price. that's all....

[benhur]

mus've been nearly cheated by shop that's why say cannotb trusted/ he tot price is cheap or less than new one then dicover nt true

[ohlins]

maybe that shop told kenny his rolex prices is the lowest in sg and jb, and some say batam....haha.

happy new year to you, ohlins.

cannot blame the dealer, customers must do leg work otherwise risk being taken for a ride.

i see nothing wrong with the shop quoting whatever price. if the price is something you not comfortable with. dont deal.

what i sense from the thread starter is that he wants to warn fellow members about the prices quoted by any shops.

as usual, i usually say, do homework.

Not fair to say the shop cannot be trusetd unless had mislead U in some way... Anyway his price is lower than brand new.....

[seiko.citizen]

agreed. homework pays off. but you must be prepared to put in hard yard before reaping any rewards.

I think so too... it is a fair market between buyer and seller...

Many branded jewellery stores also selling same quality, same cut diamond at a premium too... the only difference is the names they gave to the diamonds they are selling. So can they be trusted?

Very strange that the shop will quote you such a price given the price the AD is offering. Did you pi** the shop operator off big time...?

[louie]

now at a time like this ADs is giving more disc trying to close sale esp when the payment mode is CASH.So differences is very minimum comparing to preloved. I was quoted for $7k for a sub LV last wk at chinatwn preown shop (NOT Pheng Hwee),gone upstairs to an AD asked quoted me for $7.5k.Difference of $500 dollars...BNIB from AD,and 5 yrs old preloved sub LV.( not to mentioned possible risks involved buying preowned ) Is your call end of the day...
