Thanks for the heads up to the buyspry sale! Got my Black sport band today. I actually never had an (official Apple) black band, so for $5 I could not pass it up. I only wish he had other colors in the 38/40mm!
 
Guess the third time is the charge. Got in my midnight blue leather loop and it is indeed a medium!

Personally, I’d feel a little weird returning a sealed band that’s now open, but if you want to push it he may let you, but certainly is not required to. You could also probably sit on it until his stock is gone and then sell it for more than you bought it for.

Hopefully my large is a large when it shows up next week...... 🤞

Nice band that MN blue leather loop! Yea I do feel bad returning an open band and shipping would probably cost me 5-6 bucks anyways. I may do that, hold onto it and sell it at some point as a MINT condition band.

Anyone know how to block Mercari sellers’ listings from showing up?

This guy is flooding my search with these knockoff watches and I really couldn’t care less about them.

I saw that Surf Blue earlier and almost jumped on it, but looking at comparison pics here it's so similar to Blue gen 1 (which I have). But if you don't already have that band, Surf Blue is gorgeous and that is an excellent deal!

not a loop but still a great deal

That seller just upped their price to $45! What the ****!? Who would buy an open one for $45 plus shipping when a new one can be had from Apple for $49 and free shipping? :rolleyes: Glad I didn't buy it earlier, bet it would have been cancelled. Shady.

Probably saw it had lots of interest and upped the price. It’s an infuriating move, but I guess it’s just supply and demand.

I'm wondering if anybody ever has any luck finding great bands on clearance (or just hard to find bands) at physical stores? Do sores like Ross, TJ Maxx, etc. ever sell them? Or is everyone just relying on eBay, Mercari, Reddit, etc. to make their purchases?



I’m just looking to up my game so I can secure a Hyper Grape Sport Loop and a few others that are wildly popular and hard to find.

Thanks!

Best I’ve found are white & midnight blue at $20 each. Bought them both and that was the start of my collecting.

Oh, that was at Walmart. Also just remembered I once found Tahoe & Light Pink/Midnight wovens at Target for $29 each. Not really a great deal, but it was cool to see. Tahoe was 42mm, Light Pink was 38mm.
