Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

Can anyone explain ChargerStore’s pricing on the Milanese loops? Only the silver is less than retail. Why would anyone buy pre-owned bands for considerably more than the retail price when the bands are readily available.
He might be basing them on the old prices, and just forgot to update the listing when they dropped.
You can also buy it on Mercari for more than retail if that’s your thing. Wanted to see if there were any reasonable pre owned gold Milanese loops and instead I just find more expensive ones!

For as fast as 1to3 Store sold their bands, I'm surprised they didn't jack up the prices after the first day. The only thing they did was to remove the multi-band discounts.
Cerulean Loops aren’t available at Best Buy. That band is way out of season. Plus after fees from eBay and PayPal there would be no profit made at that price point with buying bands from Best Buy’s sale at $39 plus tax.
Lol isn’t it a bit early to try to flip the 1to3 bands? He’s not even out of stock. These band scalper people have no patience...Lol someone is trying to flip all their 1to3 Store bands for 100% profit hahahahaha savage

yeah, this is in bad taste for me.
so, I actually called the number for our Ebay seller on Wednesday I think... it was later in the evening for me and he picked up. I had called him about the two band cancellations that I got emailed about that Wednesday but I had received a shipping and tracking number for them on Monday. so we briefly spoke about them and he assured me the other bands had shipped that day, not Monday, anyways...the point is, he did mention he was concerned about people "bulk" buying.
he asked me to call him if I wanted to bulk buy and he would give me a better price, but that he did not want people bulk buying on his store...I assured him I was not bulk buying, but rather I have four family members all with watches and that's why I was buying so many bands from him. I told him he had really good color options and great pricing and I appreciated him.
again, the point of all this, he is concerned about exactly this thing happening and its people like that that ruin good deals/sales for the rest of us. I think @toxtrepla mentioned people notifying sellers and order being cancelled and then relisting at a higher price and that's just petty from whoever is reaching out to the sellers. I think the sellers should honor the sale morally, but its definitely more the fault of the "salty" individual crying to the seller and the only person who really suffers there is the person who was going to get a good deal. its the old "if I can have it, you cant either" mentality and its beyond me to understand it.
anyways, sorry, just ranting a bit... people/the world sucks sometimes
They're making a profit at the lower price faster. They can raise the price and possibly make more, but slower.
They bought low, and are selling higher. Someone else bought at their price and sells higher...
It's annoying, but that's middlemen.
It's not some band collector that is selling his stuff and only has one chance to make it back.
Come on guys.... Let’s get the mood elevator high again and talk about some uplifting positive news!
Here is my Saturday Story for outstanding Customer Service from USPS. After waiting 3 weeks for a lost package and opening an investigation with USPS, I was assured they would locate the package “no matter what” and expedite the delivery! Guess what? It finally arrived!
Introducing the Limited edition “GHOST SPORT LOOP”. You can’t see it on your wrist but it is SO light and easy to wear. Like its not even there! My new go to band when I want to wow Friends and family.

I feel like this is straight out of r/WellThatSucks.
At least they delivered on their promise. I mean, they did get it to you no matter what.
Hopefully it wasn’t anything too expensive!
the “We Care!” is just the icing on the cake. That envelope is beat to hell and they want you to believe they care?
Honestly it was so ridiculous that I can’t even get mad. I laughed when I read the “we Care”. Warms your heart.
Seller insured the package so I’ll deal with that when I have the energy. Unfortunately it was an open box Indigo Sport loop. I knew it was on the way so I passed on the eBay guy’s posts this week and now its sold out. But they pop up reasonably all the time. Could have been much worse Rarity or value wise! With that said, this is why I never use the cardboard mailers. Boxes or Bubble mailers are significantly stronger. Not blaming the seller even a bit, just a personal preference from my end.
My go to are the Duck bubble mailers you can get for like 25¢ at Walmart. They cheap, but so effective!
Check for all mail carriers wearing an Indigo Sport Loop band.
Also interrogate anyone wearing a berry check woven nylon. I never got mine
Not sure if this is a good price for the Close Your Rings woven band (I see a poor looking one on Mercari for $70), it’s not my thing but if anyone else is interested there is one on eBay for $45:
Close Your Rings $45
Close Your Rings $45
Great price for anyone who doesn’t have already or is into Nylons! Awesome find!
Keep in mind the seller has very little history and 0% positive feedback. Also it’s not clear from the listing what size watch this is for.
On an unrelated note, Nike currently has 42mm Pure Platinum/Black sport bands on sale for $37 on their official site. They’re probably clearing out old stock. Not as good as the prices from that eBay sale last week. But, not a bad deal if you’re looking for that band.

But I will wait until I can find one under $20Keep in mind the seller has very little history and 0% positive feedback. Also it’s not clear from the listing what size watch this is for.

Bought mine brand new for $20 even from that OfferUp seller I linked a while back. Don’t know if she still has any.
