Greentoe "name your price" Successes & Failures
Greentoe Watch Listings Here
What is Greentoe? I don't exactly know, but this is what they say about themselves:
Does it work? So far, [mention]yinzburgher[/mention] has had this positive experience, picking up a Seiko STO Samurai for $168:
Link to the deal. (Interesting to note that while this linked page shows yinz's price, their own organic listing here does not. Also interesting to note that "yinz" is Pennsylvanian for "y'all," -- did not know that .)
https://www.greentoe.com/product/Seiko_ ... 01q8tRqQAI
I wasn't planning to create a Greentoe topic, but I discovered something interesting. Their watch page includes a price slider, and if you set the max price to $170, the above Samurai appears in the results. This seems like a tell you could use when figuring out what price to offer.
For example, messing with the sliders I was able to estimate their Bulova A-15 at about $350.
Funny thing: when I googled the A-15 model number, Greentoe had a Google ad for $358 (Jomashop: $347). Would they accept something lower?
So I googled yinzburgher's STO deal, and sure enough: there is his price in a Google ad from Greentoe. It's like he has hacked the internet, lol.

Their business model reminds me of the Massgenie experience some of us had a couple of years ago.
Re: Greentoe "name your price" Successes & Failures
A week or two ago I really wanted a Safarnie, SNJ029.
Greentoe had the only <$300 price at $265 displayed. Wanting to do my research, I slept on it, woke up the next day and that price was gone - replaced with a box to make an offer. I spent a week modifying my price, trying to beat the $295 counter offer that I received.
(Unreasonably) frustrated that I couldn't recreate a deal, I ended up spending a few extra bucks and buying from a WUS seller. Arrived this morning - stoked to own it.

Re: Greentoe "name your price" Successes & Failures
HERE IS A LINK to a Google Shopping search of Seiko watches on Greentoe. I didn't sort by price because unfortunately some listings get omitted when you do that......a frustrating quirk of Google Shopping. The prices should all be listed though. When I click through to Greentoe, I sometimes see the price and sometimes see the "NAME YOUR PRICE" function. I'm guessing you can just offer the price that you see listed on Google Shopping and it should be accepted. No other Prospex deals are quite as good as the STO Samurai but the prices certainly aren't bad at all. The other Seiko that tempts me is the grey dial SRPE51 DressKX at $147.
And here is some more info about "Pittsburghese".

Re: Greentoe "name your price" Successes & Failures
I also worry about seeing the kind of drop-shipper experiences we saw with the Jet+Ergode episode. Greentoe might land in the risk/reward quadrant where angels fear to tread, lol.

I've got a tracking number already. Won't be here until the 24th. Will report back when I get it

Re: Greentoe "name your price" Successes & Failures
Lol I had forgotten the name Ergode. They had a chunk of my money for a few days before Jet slapped their wrist. I haven’t been back to Jet since. Interestingly, I just tried to access Jet.com and it took me to the Walmart site. Benton like must have pulled the plug on Jet.BostonCharlie wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 12:12 pmI also worry about seeing the kind of drop-shipper experiences we saw with the Jet+Ergode episode.

Re: Greentoe "name your price" Successes & Failures
The original STO Samurai link posted by yinzburgher isn't showing me his $168 price anymore. But when I google SRPC93 I see a Greentoe ad showing $168. When I click on this ad I still don't get the price -- I just get the "Enter Your Price" field.
Searching Google Shopping also brings it up. Google's listing says: "price drop ... was $264.13." Searching a different Greentoe model does not show that. This makes me think that yinzburgher's accepted offer is the source of the price drop, and that their other prices we discovered are their "buy now" prices.

I just got notified that I'll be getting a refund for the STO purchase for $168 because it was sold out. Hopefully I'm the only one.
