Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

[SpartaImpster]

What do people make of this eBay seller based here in the UK? They’ve got a lot of boxed straps, but there are a few unboxed straps that I’m thinking about buying

Do they look genuine to those of you with a better eye than me?

I have bought from him and always received genuine bands and very quick delivery too 👍🏻

Observation, as I grab another sillycone loop for 40 bucks, perhaps obvious...the new sizing system does mean less available eBay deal opportunities to any one person, but once you find a listing, it seems for the sake of offers and auctions, you can get a low price with less people clamoring after each narrow size.

As someone who simply is not going to a store to do pick-up, I’m fudging away the $4 shipping charges as not counting towards the quality of the deal lol. Call it a Good Samaritan write-off...*dies of smugness*

I haven’t purchased from them myself, but the cheap ones on Walmart are actually by third party sellers (the black one says Sold by iTek) not direct from Walmart and are the silicon ones that come in the plastic bags. The official Apple ones will say they are sold by Walmart.

edit: looking at the photos for the 44mm ones, it looks like some people got real bands, most got knockoffs. It depends who they actually ordered from. A lot of the 1-star reviews say they are fake.

In addition, at least some, if not most, of these 3rd party sellers sell only USED bands. I've contacted a couple of them in the past, and they confirmed they sell only used bands.

If someone can live without AOD, this auction smells like it’s gonna be a steal. Even $700 for a mint Rallye with s4 is a great price. 11h to go, at $420. (Might send you to an annoying multi-listing)

Pollen 38mm sport band still for sale in the marketplace!

Not on sale, but Best Buy has the current Nike bands finally. Useful if you have gift cards lying around.

Leather Links loaded too, but showing sold out. Hoping an open box one pops up so I can grab at a discount.

C’mon Best Buy Canada, get your sh*t together.

All the loops show as sold out, which seems unlikely. Hopefully they’ll be available soon, I want to use my gift card for Obsidian Mist!

Best Buy order surprised me several days early! As with everyone else, I got what I ordered!

Wow I have to say I’m envious! They’re all sold out now, I’m hoping for a restock. Never had a chance to own any of the blue leather bands over the years. They’ve always been way too pricey.

I bought 2 bands from him this morning Looking for Hyper Grape sport loop in 44 if anyone knows of some.

It will be interesting to see what you receive. Keep us posted.

Received my watch bands from best buy over the weekend. Flash light, teal tint SL and hibiscus SB - all sealed, boxes were in good condition except for the bent corner of the hibiscus.
