The other thing is please try and be patient (I can’t stress that enough). A lot of people (VIPs or non-VIPs) that are successful on this forum have been buying APs for years (Ash, SMD, Gary, maciej, Roger, etc). So unless you have deep pockets, it will take time and a lot of patience - one piece within one year is not a relationship.
AP is right to prioritize existing relationships right now given the unprecedented times because the existing clients now are demonstrating loyalty which goes above and beyond if you’re the merchant. They don’t know if you’re the 1-3 watch guy that may want it now because it’s hot and disappear later but they do know that previous clients with history have ridden the wave up and down with them and hence giving them more love now

Very good point thanks and you are right... time will tell and I’m only 31 so plenty of time to establish a relationship... just frustrating at times.
