    I love watches and always preach, by what you like! These happy jewelers folks literally preached how "watches are THE BEST INVESTMENT" over the last 3 years. They told everyone to buy buy buy. "The money is safe" etc etc...I mean, they lowball Michael, and he's one of their superstar clients who has brought them many many new clients and free advertisement...IMAGINE what they would offer nobodys like you and I!

      All the resellers of any kind are scammers. Hes giving them free advertising that could run 10s of 100s of thousands of dollars. Poor business skill. Short-term money oriented guys. Hope they all go out of business. They only target super rich who will buy whatever they want and dont care about the 1000$ or 2000$ extra. For normal people, its such a bad place

      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 8 місяців тому

      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.

      If michael really wanted to make his money back or profit he wouldn't be selling them to middlemen. He would sell them directly. If he did that he wouldn't be losing nearly as much maybe even break even or profit. He probably doesn't see it as worth his time. This is a millionairs version of a garage sale.

    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.

      Absolutely wrong calculations here… 4% interest per year would actually be losing you around 16% per year on the money that you blew on these watches. You’re not figuring in the devaluation of the US dollar at all. You would have to be making 20% on your money per year in order just to stay even with, the evaluation of the US dollar. For instance, in 2019 $100,000 if held in cash would buy you about $54,000 worth of actual stuff today. And with your piddly 4%, that would bring you to a 16% loss per year

      @CampDavidTraining think about what you wrote. Inflation is bad for everyone, unless you shorted the dollar. If you just hold on to your money, you would lose your 4% annually, and the inflation. So the inflation is a given, and shouldn't be entered in the calculation ( again, unless you are positioned to gain from it).

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.

    Just wondering when you might do a follow up with Nile Niami? Just wondering what came of him after he lost The One. Also any chance of an interview with the new owner as it would be interesting to see what's changed since Nile? Did they finish everything such as the industrial kitchen & did they get certificate of occupancy? I feel like many of your subscribers deserve a follow up as those videos are how many of us found your channel. Like if ya'll wanna see it.

      @@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.

      They offered him more than he would have gotten anywhere else for those rolexes. It's crazy how many people don't realize that the markup on the things they buy is normally 30-50% and that's what it takes to have employees, pay the rent, keep the lights on, etc.
