AD Discounts

In Response To: A.D discounts- how do you get them ? ()

I think the key really is to ask, or be up front with them and tell them what you will give them for the watch. Its somewhat embarassing to ask for a discount, I know, especially a local AD that you may need for service, etc. I just had a similar experience with a local AD. Fortunately here in the states, we have access to known discounters. In my case, I got the discount from a recommended dealer and then went to my local ad to try to give them the business, for good will, etc. They were willing to discount, but not enough to earn my business. This suprised me because they are known as a high end jewelry store over here. They never have sales, never. But had I not asked and bought from them, I would have been somewhat miffed that I lost the opportunity to save some money. I think in general, most ads are willing to discount a little to get a sale, and a lot if they are interested in volume or repeat business.
