Interesting offer for those starting in the "watch business"

I've seen where some folks charge a few grand for something similar but this is bananas. Especially given the history.

can't imaging this will end well. wonder how much he paid to be mentored? seems like he had a lot of good will bestowed on him by other dealers within the industry... can't imaging he can't pay it forward. but his time is valuable... smh.

1/4 million dollars... it seems that a fool and his money will be easily seperated.

I do like the series, I enjoy Marco's knowledge. Anthony seems like he would be intellectually exhausting to speak with...

so far his business model.

debt leverage
buy on memo
try to sell it on memo, if not send it back
prefer consignment because you don't have financial leverage to float the goods.
buy on credit card.
buy hype, hype then dump. repeat.

will be interesting to see this business model when the easy money stops flowing in.

haven't blue milgaus been about 12k before, then back below retail, now back to 14k.

its a cycle.

as warren says... when the tide goes out you will see who is without swim trunks.

think he said he paid 100k to be mentored. the buy hype makes sense though. most of these dealers just make money on small margins and high volume. no one who isn't a huge established dealer is gonna want to sit on dress watches when they can be in an out of royal oaks and steel rolexes 10 times a day

They use OPM, so there's an endless supply of that from the bigger fool.

Offer him 30.

LOL I wonder how many former day traders are now watch dealers? And how many watch dealers work at McDonald's in their spare time?

Can I get fries with that?
