I see if a Renato goes for cheap its a POS. If a Hammy goes for cheap at TJs its a great deal. ;) |

Uhmmmmmmmmmmmm! Renato goes for cheap as a rule regardless of where it is listed. A Hammy at TJ MAXX goes for cheap as the exception as: 1) TJ MAXX usually gets them from bankrupt stock at below wholesale, 2) TJ MAXX does not usually handle high end high cost products due to their "typical" customer profile, therefore, the "gonga" prices that a few individuals have gotten are on Clearance prices because the product didn't move. TJ's formula is to move merchandise out...not from store to store. Their usual price for Hammy's is just slightly below Internet prices in the $400 to $500 range. The bottom line is..........no, Renato usually goes for cheap because it is a POS. Hamilton rarely goes for cheap and ONLY on a great deal! jmho scamp wrote: I see if a Renato goes for cheap its a POS. |

I haven't been drinking any of the Kool- Aid or Dr. Pepper thats been going around. :) I was just trying to point out IMO that was a good deal. |

scamp wrote: It was a great deal for someone wanting a Renato...I think....no... I have seen them being sold for less already:)Our point and Tonys is that Renato was selling for $349 or so just a couple weeks ago and is Well Documented on the Slop forum as being a POC...I own one and wouldn't Sell It for anything...cause I wouldn't want to Rip anyone Off or Have to feel Guilty when it Dies again or they get D.Minks voice mail for 3 weeks like I did...let alone the condescending e-mail Tony received from Mink :P:P:P ...the Hamiltons being sold at TJ's are 2824's/ 7750's and if $$190 to $399. isn't a Great deal on a Bonified Watch Brand what is  O.A.

I will follow that, but on the 3 day listing, with 11 hours to go there are exactly zero bids on the watch. Another has been listed for over 6 days, has 16 bids and is all the way up to $162.50 and the 3rd just started out! scamp wrote: Renatos on E-bay. Just for the heck of it |

My 2 cents.......I like the watch but I'm not going to pay $400 for a start up company product and the problems thay are having with mechanical issues and their C.S. bothers me.......If they work things out in the future I my consider one. After watching The last Renato shows they indicated that his watches are going way up in price....sales ploy or reality. I think one must establish of trust and sound product before one begins to raise their prices. As I learned from the house of engineering from good old PSU.......look, listen, research, research, research before you make your final decision. So basically do your homework before you waste your hard earned money!!!! |

I know I'd rather have a brand new 7750 chrono for less than $200 than the Renato. scamp wrote: I see if a Renato goes for cheap its a POS. |
