Hi All - So i am looking at a couple of watches mainly Tissot and went to these shops. Considering I will be spending north of $1000 on watches, i was hoping to get some discount on RRP.
They offered me 10-12% saying when you are ready to purchase, we will see what we can do.
So this to all who might have had any such experience in the past, how much do think think they will negotiate?
is 20-25% too much to expect?
ok. yeah 20% would be good.. will try..cheers
Which models? Links?
Your location says Melbourne.
If you're around the city, try JR Duty Free on Swanston St. As soon as you start negotiating, they'll give you the best discounted price they can.
Each brand has it's own margin/percentage that they can knock off straightaway. Longines and Rado were about 23% off the listed price. The discount is off either the Duty Free Price or, if you're not travelling, the Duty Free Price plus 10%.
yes melb.. wil;l try JR thanks
Let's suppose they offer 25% discount:-

$625.00

$475.00
Total $1,095.00 - 25% = $821.25

US$225.00 + US$16.20 Shipping = US$241.20

US$223.35 + US$9.92 Shipping = US$233.27
Total US$474.47 = ~AU$596.29 … a saving of AU$224.96
take away 10% gst and its still pretty healthymRKUP
wouldnt buy from any aus shop really, you're just getting ripped off
That is nearly always the case.
woow thanks man… its a rip off here.. now i am thinkin of getting from US.. thanks
organized a friend to buy these from his US Amazon account and hand it over to me as we would be meeting in 3 weeks.. nice..and tahnks @PJC
That's a good saving.
good
it makes me happy that people dont get ripped off and dont patronise aus business
dont get me wrong, there's some ok deals to be had if they're having a sale and whatnot but its always caveat emptor
Standard discount on Tissot is 20% off RRP. Any shop which sells Tissot will give you that discount if you push for it. In my experience I haven't been able to get anyone to give more than 20% discount on Tissot.
