I have a used Rolex watch, I bought while in the USAFin1962. It has been in a drawer for about 35 years because I like the accuracy of digital watches. As our savings are being drained, we are looking around for things we can sell. The watch had been wound too tightly and I knew I could not sell it without restoring it to working condition. Through a local jeweler, I found that Rolex USA would restore it for approx. $900. The jeweler told me she would have to insure it for $5000 when she mailed it, so I jumped to the conclusion I might get that for the watch. Spending $900 on it seemed like a no-brainer. I have seen similar watches on eBay for $3300 to $3700. Turns out, the particular model I have is more inthe $1300-$1800 range.
At first, I advertised the watch at $2800. Then lowered to $2500, and, after speaking with a different Rolex jeweler, I feel a more sensible price is $1500, so I advertised it on FaceBook this week for $1500.
Tonight, I was contacted by a sailor who offered me $1900 for the watch. He agreed to meet me at the jewelers store (a safe place) Saturday at 3pm ("broad daylight"--not dark).
Ethical question:::: After having advertised it for $1500 (he apparently hasnt seen that), can I take his $1900?
