Thats really super crazy

After wandering around today looking at old vs new, to buy local (not keen on the stress of shipping from OS) I might as well just buy a new rolex or something from someone on here... but still not keen on this shipping caper.

I just do not get it, dont people walk into a AD and find out what a brand new one costs before buying from these resellers????

Sucker born every minute, Amanda. You'd be surprised how much disposable income some people have. They merely look at the actual List Price that's on the hang tag of a new Rolex and then if the used one is a few hundred dollars cheaper, they go for it. They just don't take the discount factor (which is available on a new one) into consideration.
