1. Call the watch shop that catches your eye
-
2. Ask the market price for your watch
-
3. Conduct ① and ② at some stores,
compare
If you do the above, there will definitely be a difference. Furthermore, if the store has a big difference between its purchase record and the actual price, it is just exaggerated advertising.
For example, if you inquire at five stores about a watch with a selling price of about 1 million yen, the difference between the highest and lowest prices will be around 50,000 yen, and the difference between the highest and lowest prices will 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
As you may already know, stores that only say what is convenient for the customer and only encourage customers to visit without providing details have a high possibility of lowering the appraisal value. They use various reasons to lower the appraisal value, and finally say things like "We're increasing the appraisal value by 100,000 yen for a limited time only!", making you feel as if you've made a bargain, which leads to a deal.
There is a lot of information you can get just by calling. If the store has good quality items and a good appraiser, that will be even more evident. 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.
