It is for sale for 4.5k and they claim to have been appraised at 9k.

If it was truly worth 9k, ask yourself why anyone would be selling it for 4.5k? I used to see this all the time at a watch shop in Rockefeller Center near where I worked. They'd have a watch listed at 7k, on sale for 3k to make the tourists feel like they were getting a bargain. When in reality the watch was worth maybe 1k. I hate this kind of marketing ploy.

I know exactly the place you mean! I went in there to look at a 'vintage SM300' I saw in the window there one day ... Closer inspection revealed it was a fake immediately (stubbies and closed 6) - the asking price went from 10k to 5k to 3k to 1.5k in about 5 minutes... I told the guy it was a fake, and he obviously was having none of it, but could not explain why he shaved 8.5k off his price in rapid succession - given the place a wide berth since then... Poor tourists...
