Apple watch band 40mm on Mercari

Used in great condition! This is the rose red original apple watch sport band. For some reason my light make it looks red but is more in a pink red color! Not sold in stores anymore, it was a special edition limited sale on Fall 2019.

www.mercari.com

If any of you grabbed this, I'd be interested to know if it's indeed Rose Red. I tired to ask the seller, but she didn't respond and someone else snatched it up.

 

[mikedis]

It’s the real deal. Just received mine today.

That didn’t take long. Nice.

Haha same! I thought the photo looked a bit redder than the pics on here and was debating getting it. Looked again and it sold.

@kryptticAZ

Gladly, @mikedop made it too hard to resist. We’re (wishful) thinking hibiscus which I’ve been low-key craving since I got my pride20...as long as it’s actually printed with 40mm, I’m safe from having rebought something not rare. A second red raspberry wouldn’t be the end of the world, though. We’re trusting the “pink” description and that she mixed up her flower names.

We’ve launched what’s practically a full FBI examination, using state-of-the-art tools such as digital enhancing & process of elimination, we’ve ruled out any possibilities of Rose Red & Red Raspberry. Our final results until day of delivery/cancellation are as follows:

90% Hibiscus
11% Red G3
09% Pomegranate

If the FBI’s digital forensics playbook is jiggling the color balance until it looks like the thing they want it to then our grat[ing] nation is even more forked than the news would have us believe.

Also @kryptticAZ i see your sapphire listing for slightly less than @EmmaLouWho...were you sick the week they taught Cartels 101 in school 😹

There are now multiple scalper listings reselling the $20 classic buckles.

There are now multiple scalper listings reselling the $20 classic buckles.

I saw that this morning...i dont know how i feel about it... I guess i’ll never be a rich man because i’m not sure i could ever feel good about selling something to some one for 5 times what i paid for it. And I get it, that’s the smart way of making money, its perfectly legal and no one can argue with making a profit. I just get more good ”feels” from showing someone a deal or giving someone something that I dont need any more.

I purchased two of those bands, one for me and one for a good friend of mine who only has a few bands and has never had a nice dressy band. I think she’s really going to love it, for me, this is more rewarding.

in that case, have any bands you got for cheap that you’re not looking to keep for long?

LOL, man, I painted myself right into that corner, didn't I?!

but no, I have a handful of seconds that are just normal/common bands. I have been working the last few months to build my own(and my wife's) collection and its just now getting to the point where I have obtained *almost* everything I've been looking for. But I'm afraid that has not left much left in the means of money for second/duplicate purchases, even for the ones I really really like. I literally just placed the last order for some Woven Nylons I was wanting.

Now its saving for whatever fall releases come out and then this winter I'll just browse for good deals/good finds on duplicates...unless I get into Hermes....but I do not collect Hermes

I do not collect Hermes

I do not collect Hermes...

...I do not collect Hermes...

I see a LOT of for sale offers on bands from people in this forum that are much higher than they paid for them. Almost every single listing on eBay/Mercari/etc. for brand new goods is from sellers who are selling to make a profit. That's the way all stores work. I just paid well over retail for an Ultraviolet sport band from a seller who is making a healthy profit. Nobody forced me to. Tox did a group buy a little while ago that many members here took advantage of, and I've seen a good portion of those bands in various marketplaces for well over retail too.

If that goes against your conscience, then I would be happy to give you all the good "feels" you like and buy any rare bands you have for the prices you paid for them!

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism...

One person’s scalper is another person’s selling at what the market will bear. Look I’m no free market absolutist or libertarian—as someone said on Twitter, that stuff is just astrology for men—but the ebay seller was clearly happy making their $20 revenue per band minus shipping and fees and selling a sweet NIB $150 msrp item for under $100 all seems pretty ok.

Edit: pure platinum/black Nike+ M/L only 42mm $14 (no pics of the underside but it looks legit enough)

you’re absolutely right and honestly, I’m not saying its wrong or that its not the prudent thing to do. I’ve been on the side where i’m happy to pay someone double retail for a band I needed right then and there and then i saw it restocked the next week at bestbuy... It‘s market forces at play.

Please dont read my post as a negative commentary on anyone selling the bands higher, i think it was more of a personal commentary on my naivete about opportunity. I’ve often thought, when getting a good deal, that i should not be so short sighted and buy one or two, but that i should have gotten a handful and make money back...only to go back and it be too late.

again, it was not a commentary agaist anyone or the practice...
