I do think TRF trusted sellers is an asset and yes you can find great deals. But I will share a couple of thoughts about it:
- In some instances I have found cheaper prices buying brand new from the AD than buying used from a Trusted Seller; the opposite is also true so do your diligence and research your options before pulling the trigger.
- Rationally for a flipper yes it makes more sense buying used than brand new to minimize losses but "personally" for me even though I understand that I still prefer buying from the AD I just can't buy used and I learned the hard way. But that doesn't mean that you should, if it doesn't bathers you by all means the better deal is to buy it used.
- Personally the biggest asset is that you have a very good option to "sell" your watches with a TRF trusted seller

Kudos
