This was hard to watch. Because anytime you try to sell your watches back it’s going to always be in the favor of the one who is buying them from you. Not you the seller. So even though all of you are chummy, get along, there is still an air of animosity. Which makes it uncomfortable. Which happened here. I felt it. I saw it too. 😬😬😬
@dakotaxu47926 ай бұрын
I did see it too…… there was a moment, a short one, and you could feel the discomfort, the nervous laughs, the smiles which were not genuine. But it’s all part of business. It IS true however that the jewelers have to lay out the money from their own pockets immediately while the watches they buy back from you could sit on the shelf for a long time. The mind is a funny thing because you see a watch and suddenly you make a connection with it and you will do everything in your power to obtain it. Then over time the connection wanes, it fades and suddenly one day you want to trade it or sell it for the next best thing. And you lose money selling it BUT….. and this is VERY IMPORTANT TO REALIZE. If you take your calculator out and divide the amount you lost in selling it by the amount of time you had it the loss is VERY VERY SMALL. For example let’s say Producer Michael lost $27,000 on the Lange in white gold but he had it for 5 years. Basically he lost $103 a week or about $15 a day.

I scaled down the collection to 4 watches I absolutely loved and would wear regularly if the mood and occasion suited. It's worked well. Now if I see an absolute must have piece, then I stick by the rule that one in the collection has to be sold to make room. Works for me.

Thank you PM for an educational video. So losing 35k is not good, but the loss is actually greater. You have to take into account the loss in interest the money would have generated if not spent on watches. Let's say all these wathces cost 200k, and you kept them for five year(never worn!!). Had you invested this money in the most conservative investment, which genreates 4% yearly interest, after five years you'd have a profit of over 40k(not including accumulated interest). So PM paid more than 75k for the experience of purchasing the watches and putting them in a safe, never wearing them. Let that sink in.

Absolutely wrong calculations here… 4% interest per year would actually be losing you around 16% per year on the money that you blew on these watches. You’re not figuring in the devaluation of the US dollar at all. You would have to be making 20% on your money per year in order just to stay even with, the evaluation of the US dollar. For instance, in 2019 $100,000 if held in cash would buy you about $54,000 worth of actual stuff today. And with your piddly 4%, that would bring you to a 16% loss per year

Watches are not for investment. I don't have 230K but even if I do have in future, would never buy an original one. Bought a superclone from wristova, it looks exactly the same and all that matters is I am happy when I wear the watch!

There is no way any of us get the same kind if deal if we go in there - its a great video, but the fact they discussed prices before hand, makes this a PR piece where they both push their own agendas and not genuine, which is not what we expect from the channel.

@@isigrofloyd4581 What you’re feeling is consumer price gouging. Inflation is roughly stable at 3 percent. Prices have gone up 150-200% for certain goods. That’s not inflation. That’s just companies lying to you and using the fairy tale of a “bad economy” to justify their price gouging. It becomes evident when you look at the financial statements of companies. They’re all raking in record profits because their margins have tripled or quadrupled. You’re being scammed, don’t fall for it.
