Topic - How do we get a good deal from a Pre-own dealer?
This is very subjective. I always believe there is a way to negotiate a deal.  These are the points that I am aware of. But, let's hear from our MWF members' experience :-)
1. Firmed interest on a particular model and negotiate from there.
2. Buy from your regular shop.
3. Do your survey about market price.
4. Trade in your watch

I would go to my regular guy,
offer to pay in cash and that is it.
Market survey will only give you knowledge and not a better price.
Trading in your watch will not get you a better price, buying multiple watches with cash at one go might.

That is just my thoughts...

Agree totally with the bro dualcarb. Most importantly is to build a good rapport with the pre-owned watch dealer. The fact that you have a regular shop is good.

[J.Tan]

Great feedback. Some shops even waive 6% for cash payment..

U may deal in cash to enjoy for additional rebate and 6% gst, mutual align thoroughly the warranty scopes are cover for which aspect and written down in the receipt, some dealers are able to offer 85-95% buy-back guarantee for certain watch models.

cash is king , i have never gotten a better discount with anything else except by offering cash payment.

Fully agree cash payment easily can get 6% to 10%discount in JB preowned shops.

cash transaction also serve as other purposes aside from discount IMO. No bank transaction record at all.

no doubt paying with cash is the best and offers the most discount. But at times enticing the shop with trading in your other watch also a way of getting better price, coz they can earn from both buying n selling
