To be clear they always use some sort of "pending inspection" language so that someone cannot send them some turd and lie about what they are sending. It is their out. None of it is binding until they see the watch. I get that. But this watch is not in need of $475 worth of reconditioning to be resold as very fine used condition.

I fully expected they were going to inspect the watch. But the huge haircut is a little frustrating to me.

And online pawn shop is exactly how I would describe this business.

Their end goal is to buy at 50% of what they think they can sell for. It is like a high end game of Pawn Stars.

Lesson learned.

To be 100% transparent here is their offer email.
