    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.

      It's actually because Michael has a relationship with them and those watches were acquired from HJ anyway. I haven't dealt with them so I don't know if they are sharks or not. However, no one is forcing you to sell to them. Michael knew he would get prices over the market value due to previous dealings, being a loyal customer, etc. And being on camera didn't hurt either.

    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. 😬😬😬

    • @dakotaxu4792
      @dakotaxu4792 Před 6 dny

      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.

  • @chiganuggoo9929

    I used to collect watches buying as and when I liked the look of one and had spare funds...all of a sudden I had 35...some hadn't even been out of the box since store day - much like here - after taking a loss on a fair few of them when selling them on I realized it was a mugs game for us, the consumer. 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.

      The liquid part made me laugh. Cash is the most liquid, followed by stocks and bonds. Luxury watches are actually fairly illiquid assets, these days I'd even argue that the used car market is more liquid because the bid/ask spread is tighter and there are more buyers. The only assets I can think of that are less liquid than luxury watches are real estate, art, and businesses.

      The fact that he wants to liquadate assets to make a investment has zero to do with inflation.

      @@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.

    Loss is a great way to control impulse buys in the future in my opinion. Sometimes you gotta lose money to gain it later on by not wasting it on things that will depreciate, if that makes sense.

    I appreciate all items can take a drop. Its amazing how many older people put money in high end watches and Art in the UK. As an easy asset to pass on to family and be hidden from the care home fees assessments in later life🙂

    Guys… they literally made 15% margins on this kind of deal. I see a bunch of comments saying they are scammers etc. do you think it’s fair to buy something and sell it at the same price? They’re running a business. Yes the Lange is the biggest loss but still added together, they made 15% from the watches they sold to Michael. That is like buying something for 100k and selling for 115k. That does not make you a scammer by any stretch of the imagination…

      If you’re wondering how I did the math: $279,000 is what he bought it at - 243,500 is what they bought all jt back at. This comes out to 35,500. This means this is around what their profit margin is on Michael (assuming they bought it at similar prices as what they’re offering him). $35,500/$243500 comes out to roughly 14.5%. This means they are making somewhere around 15% off their initial investment.
      I’d argue that is fair. They are buying expensive watches and hoping someone will buy.

    I wish Michael would sell these to fans and get a proper price for them, giving up the James Cameron for $12.5k is a crime. C2C one can easily ask 14-15k for that. 😢 Of course it’s much more convenient to drop them all at a wholesale location.

    Same as all dealers . When you buy it will be the greatest investment but when you sell it’s never the right model and it would have been better in a different colour. Now is the worse time economy is bad etc

    Buy what you 💕 love, and when you’re done, sell it. You can’t do that with most gadgets (most TVs, cars, or tech) because you’ll loose 95% of your money, but with watches you get to enjoy it and only loose 10-25%. So it’s a fun hobby! But don’t look at it as an investment, look at is as fun 🤩
