BNIB at AD sub no date, retail $5800. Is $5000 cash out of line?

snowbird · 5 April 2011, 05:05 AM

That would be a pretty big discount on a steel model and they may not go for it, but there's no harm in trying - maybe it will work.

All they can say is no.

Is $5800 the list price in the USA

Because in the UK it is £3920 = $6320 ???

UK prices include VAT etc.. US list prices never include applicable taxes that the buyer may have in addition...

That, and we're not yet a world economy so prices will vary from country to country after conversion..

Thanks Larry is that why I hear people talking about shipping out of town ?

At the moment the US looks the cheaper option (better get on some of the trusted sellers then )

While I agree AF is great. For $500.00 plus sale tax I would purchase from AD for a warranty card in my name. Just my opinion

gbo83 · 5 April 2011, 08:29 AM

retail here in canada was $6,300 cad when i bought mine 6 months ago. I got it for $5,800 including taxes. My friend told me however, he was offered $5,500 (or $5,300, I don't remember) from a different AD. So I guess you can try your price on different ADs.

bring cash,find a location with little retail traffic, I cant see why you cant...

I agree

Give it a shot and prepare to consider a counter offer (if you really want the watch).

I was offered one in San Diego at Maui Jewelers (Fashion Valley Mall) for $5k ... my wife wanted it, but I turned it down.

Bought her a brand new "M" SD in Portland (no tax) for $5k a week later.

I don't want to start a new thread. I am about to buy an Explorer 1, d serial, excellent condition. $3000. I think it's a good deal but I want to make sure you guys agree. I've held it and it is excellent besides desk swirls on clasp.

MortgageGuy · 5 April 2011, 12:42 PM

I would say that is alright if you do not have a relationship with the AD... I would get them to include tax if possible... If not, have it shipped out of state to avoid the tax at the time of sale
