I am looking for a pre owned omega aqua terra watch 1 to 3 years old in the UK .what price should I be trying to get for a pre owned ?
There's like 99999999 different versions of the Aqua Terra with models on the preowned market ranging from $1,000 to $40,000. You need to be specific with a reference number.
$3500 USD, +/-$500. In GBP, around 2600 - 3K GBP, depending on condition, box/papers, whether it's a dealer or private sale
Do you think its best holding out for a private seller on something like Ebay , I find the shop price is around £3700 pre owned with box and papers , I think its a bit over the prices but have looked round most shops .
If you buy it on eBay and something is wrong you could be in for some internet reaming. Sellers on eBay have very low overheads. Bricks and mortar stores on the other hand have rent, wages, utilities, insurance etc etc. Ergo, prices will always be higher. They are usually well established and don't vanish as soon as the item is sold. If you buy from them, the chances are you can go back and have an issued sorted out. If the watch is sound, and you feel comfortable with the store, paying a few bucks more is hardly an issue. Take a hint from Benjamin: "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."
