Greetings,
All caught up and waiting for the next constellation.
Back to the subject. About 6 years ago I purchased a new Rolex Air-King watch for $6,600. It was an entry level watch and not anything like my wife Rolex (OK is was $20k). I haven't worn the watch in months as my Apple Watch is ideal for me. So, I wondered what my old watch was worth. One internet company offered $12,000 for a $6,600 watch...yup it sounded too good to be true. So off to where I purchased the Rolex (Hal Davis Jewelers) and ask them what it was worth as a trade-in for an up-grade to my wife's engagement ring (paid about $2k in 1990). They said $7,500. I ask what a cash trade-in would be...they said $7,500. Yup...off to sell my watch...got the check...it didn't bounce.
A brand new Rolex Air-King watch now sells for $7,400. I cashed a check for $7,500. How can this be? A used/old watch is worth more than a Brand New Watch same everything.
Thanks for your comments,
