Either charge 70% more for new, or restrict AD CPO prices to no higher than MSRP like they do for new watches. What they are doing right now is a turn off.
I certainly see your point. I guess I don’t know if the CPO prices are negotiable. Personally I prefer to deal with quality resellers than AD’s these days!
