Why look anymore? There are no good deals.

All the Rolex SS Professional models are selling for thousands over msrp.

I guess if you look, you might get a good chuckle when you see the asking prices.

Hard to believe all this stuff sells at those ridiculous prices.

I guess that depends on what you are looking for.

If you are only looking at certain things then yes, you should stop

They only have to be a good deal in relation to the market price.

Come back in a few months, the relentless weeks of bumping over priced Rolex can’t go on much longer, times are changing.

Bring on the AD’s wanting our custom for an already very expensive tool watch!

Often times I'll look at the FS section and laugh really hard thinking the seller cant possibly be serious. Especially when I see a watch has been sitting for a month+ but they don't lower the price at all.

There are only 2-3 sellers on here that I would consider paying over MSRP over and thats because I feel very safe with them, and know I'm getting a *good* watch. Not photoshopped or angled just right to hide any surprises.

Other than them? No. I'm not giving you 12k for a SS new with stickers Sub, Ted.

Sorry not sorry. Keeping bumping those posts until you're blue in the face.

Thanks for that nice plug for my watches. I do try harder!

It was only a few short years ago that discounts were the norm.
Trusted sellers would get a break from ADs for bulk purchases and pass some of that savings to the buyer... I don’t believe we will see that again anytime soon.

On the bright side dress watches are being discounted. How about a nice Patek?

BillA · 24 December 2019, 02:10 AM

It was not long ago that Hulks were collecting dust in the display cases of AD's.

1665fan · 24 December 2019, 02:10 AM

Look for vintage....

ganiccus · 24 December 2019, 02:18 AM

As far as Rolex goes, you can find better deals on chrono24 from trusted dealers because the volume is much higher than the FS section.

Jona · 24 December 2019, 02:19 AM

Flippers may look there if they thing they can get $50 more by selling it.

tgyberg · 24 December 2019, 02:27 AM

Over the summer I saw a slightly used black DSSD (126660) listed for $10k. Not a bad price! I also enjoy just looking at the pics

There are plenty of good deals. A good deal is something that's under market price, not something that's under MSRP.

If you're expecting people to sell watches for dramatically less than they're worth, well, yes, you'll be disappointed. But the FS forum has never offered that. Your complaint amounts to, "Watches cost more right now and I don't like it."

Because we know the economy is cyclical and will crash at some point, we know prices will come down eventually, we just don't know when.

If you've got cash on hand I would just be patient. Things will change.

joli160 · 24 December 2019, 02:42 AM

Agree, the FS section on TRF is not the place to find a watch for a fair price

locutus49 · 24 December 2019, 10:31 AM

Wrong. The prices on TRF are frequently fair. They are just not to YOUR liking.

OMG Bill you listed you DJ41 for hundreds over MSRP just a few months ago and then you lowered it to MSRP.

Why didn't you list yours for thousands below msrp so someone could get a great deal ?? ( and yes I had a good chuckle when I saw your asking price)

Sorry but just a perfect post to complain about

Never in a million years did I think I would get over MSRP.
Duey, perhaps you never sold a watch on the forum, you have to ask a little more and be flexible on the price, especially a watch that is common in AD's displays.

Uhh... he’s a trusted seller.

Anyway, I find great deals here and there. In fact just got one recently. If you’re expecting to find something in high demand below MSRP, right now is not the time and you will have to wait for the eventual drop in demand. However, there are a lot of high value proposition watches that aren’t in demand that are being listed for a steal.
