I am not trying to blame buyer, there are 80% good buyers, though there is some minority which are not too good. I know the complexity of the buying people‘s mind set sometimes they are confused, they are struggling why have to buy the watch in the open market via these trading platform such as eBay or Carousell, facebook, or eBay.
Especially in Hong Kong, those younger at age group between
24-38 years old many of them are quite lost in mind, as gathering from friends and
watch sellers I know these are the quite common...
1. Some of them are not serious buyer, some of them
click your product as he wants to try luck to buy lucky go cheaper goods. They
are not serious.
2. Many of them would like to understand more on
the product and he makes use of it to ask you questions only.
3. Many of them want to buy but in over cautious
way that he ask too many questions.
Don’t fall into the psychological trap that
asking more meaning they are more interested in buy, they just don’t know. 80% of
them don’t buy.
4. Sometimes, we need to test them by providing a
slower response and see if they stop interested in your products, and ask them experience
on your products, as they might be empty on the knowledge on your product, they
you can provide them more technical information of our products, and If they
are serious then they will come back to you.
5. These are common no buy signals:-
Let me think about it
Let me consider it
Can you further reduce the price?
6. These are professional way to refuse your
products
Oh I forget to ask, do you have the
original invoice at Rolex (it has been stated no invoice)
I just noticed that there is a stain on the
dial, Let me rethink about, (Actually there is no rusts at all)
Oh, my girl friend had just informed me she
is pregnant and I need to save money for that!
7. Scammer (most likely)
a. Do you accept cheque?
b. Can you meet me at 0300 morning ta Sham Shui Po
Ap Liu street!? I pay cash for your two Daytonas
c. She says she is busy at meeting suddenly and she
sends his younger brother to trade with you. Please call his number to arrange.
(beware)
8. Why so cheap?
There is only one in 100 that asks why your
products is so cheap, he might not buy also and
This is a most hilarious reply from one of
my partners to this weird buyer.
“Because of COVOID-19, all my family member died and I need money to arrange their funerals! (This is a real one!)
