1. Call a watch shop that catches your eye
-
2. Ask about the market price for your watch

3 ① and ② were carried out at several stores,
compare
If you do the above, you will definitely see a difference. What's more, if a store has a huge discrepancy between its purchase record and its actual price, it's just exaggerating.
For example, if you inquire at five stores about a watch with a selling price of about 1 million yen, it is normal for there to be a difference of about 50,000 yen, and the difference between the highest and lowest prices can be as much as 100,000 to 200,000 yen. Knowing these "differences" is the first step to a successful purchase.
Furthermore!! Be careful of stores like this!!
-
1. A store that only tells customers what is convenient for them
-
2. Stores that don't give detailed information over the phone and encourage you to visit first
As you may already know, stores that only say what is convenient for the customer or only encourage customers to visit without providing details have a high chance of giving a low appraisal value. They use various reasons to lower the appraisal value, and finally say things like, "We'll increase the appraisal value by 100,000 yen for a limited time only!", making you feel like you've made a bargain and leading to a deal.
There is a lot of information you can get just by calling. If the store has a good reputation and an excellent appraiser, this will be even more apparent. As an important first step, try calling a few stores.
- Comparison is very important when purchasing
- We don't recommend stores that don't/can't handle phone calls.
