if you read dan kennedys excellent book you would understand the
buyer seller dynamic

rolex and many many successful businesses flip this dynamic and it is one of the secrets to making cash

rolex have stopped being the seller and instead are the buyer

in a consumer society, this puts the power back in the hands of rolex.

no longer desperate for a sale, they actually intimidate the customer and make the customer do the sales pitch to see if the customer is 'worthy' of their watch

and yes, they are sizing up the customer, making the customer qualify himself , all of which makes the "forbidden fruit" even more desirable

when you make the consumer "chase" you can make what you are selling insanely valuable

if we look at perhaps the richest man in the UK in 1524, Henry the 8th, anne boleyn knew how to flip the buyer seller dynamic

though fairly plain, she put an insane price on herself (divorce the queen and marry me before you get to sleep with me).
and henry was willing to demolish his kingdom because he convinced himself he wanted this "scarce resource".  He was so used to having any woman that when she demanded he qualify himself, he just had to do it.


the comsuner likewise is so used to being begged to buy something that when a marketer refuses to sell them a product, they suddenly have to have it .
if you can get the customer chasing, then you are going to make lots of cash

you, smith are unteachable and will always be a loser

aussie as well

but someone out there might put down their tik tok and go read dan kennedys book and change their life.

unlikely because most losers have incredible success barriers and will never do it

i know for sure you and aussie wont  Grin Grin Grin


Mr Ed! 

What has any of that stuff got to do with your false claim about Rolex retailers requiring references
(as you asserted?)

In this way, Marla may win the election both in US and Oz.

I have mixed with very wealthy and some famous people in my days.
Most tried to hide their wealth.

They would drive around in a Mazda to go to the supermarket -
leave their luxury car in their garage -
they would wear a cheap T shirt, jeans a hat and sun glasses in summer,
they would wear an old Duffle coat over their nice clothes in winter to
go out to a restaurant.
They would wear a cheap watch.

Many wealthy people don't want to advertise it -
they want to blend in with other people and not be recognised.
It's often poor people who wear a Rolex to try and impress others.

It has nothing to do with it and he's to cowardly to admit he stuffed up.

If horseboy wants I can recommend a jeweler that sells Rolex's. Not to far from his place either. The only requirement is the money to pay for it. No vetting required. Grin Grin

Auction house expert Max Brownawell explains: 'Your average woman can't just walk into Hermes and buy one. You'd have to have a long-standing relationship with one of their sales associates. '

This exclusivity and the subsequent mystique that surrounds the Birkin and Kelly has proved to be a phenomenally successful marketing trick.

Where other designer brands have become tacky and ubiquitous, Hermes alone, it seems, has been able to control access to its handbags to the point where they are badges of wealth even for the super-rich. Naturally, they are popular with the A list.

After I've stated my intention to buy a Birkin, a male assistant wordlessly ushers me towards a leather-covered desk and asks me to sit down.

'We do not have any in the shop,' he explains. 'There will be none until next month. And I cannot tell you when the next delivery will arrive. For security reasons, we don't even know what will arrive in the delivery.'

Perhaps I could buy a Kelly bag, then? 'The Kelly is even less available,' he says sternly.

But there is a ray of hope.

Would I like to see the leather samples? He opens a book of butter-soft leather and I am allowed to flick through. I pause when I reach an electric blue leather.

Could I perhaps order a bag, then - in this? His eyebrow arches again.

'No, madam. We do not take orders.

He’d tried buying it on the website but there was no Buy button, only a link to download a brochure. Frustrated, he made an in-person trip to the Rolex store. The price tag steep, of course, but he also had to join a waitlist system to buy this new item. Annoyed, he asked the store manager how long he had to wait. “Possibly years!”


guess he didnt have any references  Grin Grin

This unusual marketing strategy won’t work for most companies but if you’re a more established brand with an element of luxury, craftsmanship and exclusivity to your products, scarcity is a powerful tool.

Did he manage to buy a Rolex?
Nope. I checked with him last week and he’s still waiting. I tried steering him towards a different brand of watch that was more available, but funnily enough he wasn’t interested. When he gets the call, I’ll let you know.


guess he would have been better off with references then cash  Grin Grin

send white flag smith , you italians have a lot of those

what smith and aussie fail to "get" is that rolex would be mortified if losers like them wore a rolex.

they can front up with the cash but they wont be getting one

now if they have a reference and a CV and other rolex owners who can vouch for them they can jump the waitlist

why?

because if you are wealthy , you arent going to be so crass as to flip the watch because you dont need the cash
and you will probably be a repeat customer

and this keep ths cost of used rolexes often higher then new ones

and that makes rich people invest in them like a  piece of art


just try and go into a rolex store and tell the sales assistant, you have been saving up for 5 years to buy one  Grin Grin Grin

paradoxically, if trump or beckham or drake wanders into a rolex store , they probably give him a freebie.  he has 'qualified". he has the "references" to justify him being given the priveledge of wearing one

Wonder how much my cuckoo clock is worth?

Bought by my mother for my 12th birthday in 1969.

Still has the original mechanical mechanism (been serviced with a lot of worn parts replaced over the years).

I was told to NEVER have it converted to an electronic mechanism because it would lose much of it's value.

I still have the box it came in (and the receipt).  Cool

She may have been trying to say something about ME back then.  Grin

Here's the box it came in and a couple of the receipts from when it was serviced over the years.

And a close up of the guarantee card (which is just below the box in the top image).

July 22nd 1969... Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had just become the first men to set foot on the Moon at the time.  Cool
