Isn't this common practice across almost all offers in all verticals unless you are selling at a firesale price?
I trade in my car, it gets inspected 1k off the offer because navigation doesn't work.
If I buy a car I point out what is wrong and try to get them to address it in their offer. I sell a business people evaluate it they counter offer.
The premise of the thread is obvious. I am not sure why there is backlash against Bob's for this issue and I am not employed by bobs.
I would have liked to know what the OP sold his watch for. I have gotten lowball buy offers from greys on TRF classifieds as well, in fact one famous one here was completely unprofessional, stating my ym is worth far less than the 14060 i was considering and didn't provide any thing further.
Bob's is an excellent and trustworthy source. You wire them money the next day you get a watch. If you don't like it, tell them why and send it back within 3 days, and you get your money back. I needed service on a daydate, sent it to them, fixed perfectly within a week. It might be trivial to some but to have an entity deal with nice pieces in a trustworthy manner is something I value although I am not a novice at buying watches.
I get their buy prices might be a bit low at times. I for example won't sell the 16710 I bought from them back to them because their maximum offer was too low at $4600 and I'd want >5k. From my experiences buying from them, I wouldn't hesitate to sell to them recognizing, perhaps obviously, their initial buy offer may be adjusted downward upon physical inspection.
