Pepsi

What are your opinions on the Pepsi price on the gray market there around £14000 at the moment in England,Do you think it will just keep rising and rising with there been such low stock and long waiting lists everywhere in the world ?

What exactly are you getting at here?

If you are trying to establish if its a good time to buy, nobody has the answer. The Pepsi is a current model in mass production and 14 K is totally outrageous.

Sounds like you’re planning to sell it before you’ve even bought it ?

No definitely not but I don’t want to give £14000 for a watch to find next year it will be worth £10000

You're not a watch enthusiast, that's why. But don't worry, at least you know you have no business in buying a luxury item due to your concern of "losing money".

If you buy a car for 14K it may very well be worth 10K the next year. So you won't buy it? Watches are luxury items. They are expensive and hard to get. You have to ask yourself if you can afford a luxury item. If you want to retain value buy a bond or a blue chip stock.

IMO the price will rise until is falls, the timing of these changes is uncertain however

You think, I men haven't they sort of stalemated at 18K? I dunno, I may be completely mistaken.

Well, I keep reading on here that the bubble has burst and prices are coming down. I honestly have not seen prices dropped but I may be looking in the wrong place.

The pepsi and batman grey prices are absolutely outrageous, even a good friend of mine that are absolutely in love with them wont pay anything more than 50% premium over retail for it, and its not that he cant afford it, its simply bonkers!

Nobody knows whether this is a good time to buy - but it's unquestionably a good time to sell.

It will be interesting to see a few years down the road what happens with the preowned market for the Pepsi. Right now people are either going to great lengths to buy retail at an AD or paying a huge premium to go gray.

Priced out of my comfort zone for what you’re getting, that’s how I feel about it.

I would not be interested in paying over MSRP for a watch, car, pair of shoes, or beanie baby.

Pepsi

My feeling is that prices will fall, but not precipitously so. It will take a year or two. If you don’t want to loose money, then be patient and buy at MSRP from an AD. A big reason these watches are so expensive on the Grey market is because the people buying them are so impatient.

A big reason these watches are so expensive on the secondary market is because the people buying them are so impatient. Having to wait for anything seems to be a major inconvenience these days.
