Trying to sell my SS Space Black. Advise needed.

The prices I have seen for used Apple watches is rather depressing. More depressing for someone selling is the shear number of watches that are for sale. Pages and pages of them on Craig's List.
There is also a sheer number of the latest generation iPhone 6s and 6s Plus that are for sale. Pages and pages of them on CL and eBay. iPhone owners must be downright depressed!
I wanted a SS and have been monitoring prices and based on market trend of various sources I set my price at 350$. This is what I bought the other day for that at swappa. https://swappa.com/listing/GIH815/view I don't use listings as much as a variable.

LOL! Anything to deflect from the truth.
Newton, you are turning on us.
Pages and pages on CL is nothing new for any product. Half aren't even real.

Not. Just reporting the truth, even if it is not in Apple's favor.
The resale number are disappointing.
And I am just teasing you. I think I saw that you posted the same comment somewhere else so I couldn't resist.
I'm not surprised there are many to buy on CL. It's a love hate first gen product. I love it because it has been the best first gen product I have owned. But I know others have had problems while I haven't had any of the same problems.
The truth happens to be that they sold more AW units in the first 6 months compared to the original iPhone and iPad at debut, and they captured 75% of the smartwatch market in launch quarter. Real disappointing!
I've gotten 3 Stainless mint 42mm's in SS or SB consistently at $310 or less via CowBoom (when it was around still) or Swappa so the prices/demand is dropping as far as I see. Base model SS and SB priced at $375ish with just a sport band are sitting there without much interest, I priced my mint SB with BSB at $355 shipped/insured I believe and it sold fairly quickly. My shipping charge was around $12 and Swappa takes $10 so in pocket was $333. Seems that price point is good so if you had an offer for $380 I would have taken it.
Did you ever sell it? I'd like a Space Black. Also where are you? I spend time in Watertown, NY frequently.
Well yeah, they are. But we (mostly) all knew that would be the case. At least anyone who didn't think of the Watch as a mini iPhone, which also doesn't have the greatest resale value unless you really dig for a high bidder. A mass produced smart watch is a tool that is worn, used and banged around on a daily basis. Not much of a second market for those unless they are true collector's items. Does that mean that we overpaid? I'd say not, IMHO. Personally, I have gotten all the use out of my watch that I expected and it continues to chug along. Then again, I never had any illusions that I would recoup a significant portion of the purchase price at some point. Maybe I was in the minority thinking that -shrug-.
I never expected it to be an investment and am not unhappy, simply pointing out the low prices I see on Craig's List even for new sealed in box units. I still have and occasionally wear my 42 SS with storm grey loop.
