So I got an Apple Watch Series 10 off Marketplace… did I luck out?

Bought an Apple Watch Series 10 from someone on Marketplace. He sent me the original receipt from Best Buy, and he’s been super cool, responding to all my questions even after the sale. So far, no red flags, and I’ve owned enough Apple Watches to know this is the real deal.

He said he figured it was worth about half its retail price, so he listed it for that. He didn’t bother returning it to Best Buy because he bought it when it came out four weeks ago. He planned to gift it to his girlfriend, but she ended up buying the Ultra on her own before he could give it to her. So, I got lucky!

Dude… this might be the score of the year.

It sure sounds like it.

Or is it really though? :thinking:

Rookie move on his part, but good on you! Great score.

Some folks really don’t care about getting the best value.

I mean, why buy something so early just to hold onto it for a month? Dude could’ve easily waited until her birthday was closer.

My wife and I bought Christmas gifts for our nephews weeks ago. Found something perfect and thought, ‘Why not grab it now instead of scrambling later?’

Exactly. I once bought earrings for my wife months in advance, but I couldn’t keep the secret and gave them early. She loved them! Maybe this guy was just trying to be ahead of the game.

Sure, but it’s not like this is the first Apple Watch ever. You can get them pretty easily.

Series 10 has only been out a month. :thinking:

I guess he missed the return window.

Nice find! I get the seller’s logic, though. When I resell stuff, I just want it gone fast, even if it means dropping the price.

Same. If I get half back, I’m happy. I’d probably just keep the watch, though, to avoid the hassle.

You’re throwing away money. Check Marketplace—this stuff is still selling close to retail.

I get that, but I’d rather sell fast than deal with waiting.

Exactly! List it cheap, and you’ll have a buyer in no time.

@Bailey
Right! They’ll buy it fast and ask questions later. :joy:

I had no problem walking into the store and getting one. Are they really selling out now?

Sounds like both the seller and his girlfriend have good money. If she just bought an Ultra without telling him, that says a lot.
