Would like to know how many sellers actually got an offer, say within 5% of the quote, when the watch was sent in.

It's the "itch to sell" that drives the offering price down. Bob (excuse me, Paul), like all pawn shop owners, knows that motivated sellers are interested in a quick transaction that puts cash in their pockets. But I get your point. Perhaps changing the name to "Bob's Rolex Pawn Shop" would solve the problem.
