Mostly ebay or amazon.

cheers, Sedi

 

Same here.

 

I tend to stick with the For Sale section here on WUS. I also get some stuff from Ebay every once in a while.

 

I've also shopped at eBay and Amazon, but I've only actually purchased through eBay -- probably because I'm not buying cool, new, just-released and in-demand models. ;-) So far, it seems like eBay has a little more seller competition and lower prices on some of the older versions.

 

im loathing the vintage market more and more every day! prices are all over the shop but are generally higher than they should be. good in some ways, if youre looking at selling but knowing my luck, it'll bomb lol
saw a stargate go for just under $250AU the other night. almost makes me want to sell mine...almost
but on the same token a grey snow camo jammin mudman went for like $80AU!! last one i saw sold for close to $300!

ive been really surprised with the availability of some of the new releases tho. normally ebay is full of competition but its been rather slim pickings, esp. with the camos

 

1. Ebay
2. Macy's, Dillard's
3. Global Rakuten
4. yohei / seiya
5.f29

 

In the US (online) or europe, very often ebay or Amazon.

When able for US I will try to use my local Macy's (which is very slow) or Shocker (here on WUS).

In Japan Yohei or Seiya. If older models then Yahoo Japan or Global Rakuten.

Also for used I will use WUS

I have never visited Yohei, do you have a link to that site?

Me I mostly buy from eBay or Yahoo Japan or some street wear shops in Germany. But I have also bought from WUS F29 many times. Rakuten used to be good but (and I do not know what has happened) the selection of G's are going down and prices up so have not used Rakuten much lately.

 

Amazon for US (local for me), eBay for JDM. So far, so good.

 

I have a fairly long list of online retailers that I run through. You just never know which one will turn out best for a particular release. Some of them have gone extinct.

I got my latest G (GD-120CM-5) from Tilly's. They just happened to put it up online at the right time and listed for the MSRP of $130.99 which is virtually unheard of for this new Camos right now. I expected them to send me an email the next day claiming 'stock error' and 'we're sorry but must cancel your order and refund your money.' but instead they sat on the order for over a week before shipping. When I got the watch, the battery was dead. It's impossible to prove, but I suspect somebody or somebodies at Tilly's intentionally killed the battery in the hope that I would send it back as defective and then they could somehow take possession of it. That sure wasn't gonna happen! I popped the case open and slapped in a new battery in 10 minutes and it's run perfect since then.

I'll share some of the sites I hit when I'm shopping.

1. Rakuten Global Marketplace (What happened to them with the G-Shocks?)
2. Tokyo Toyz
3. Shopcasio (they always sell out fast of the new & hot stuff)
4. Amazon (A lot of price gougers on there when it comes to the new stuff)
5. Ebay (Hit & miss with the pricing on new & hot models)
6. Littman Jewelers
7. Zumiez
8. Nordstrom
9. Macy's
10. SkyWatches (Singapore)
11. Tilly's
12. BlueDial (they list a lot of stuff I'm pretty sure is actually out of stock)
13. Zappos
14. watchZworld
15. Princetonwatches (go there right now for a GD-120CM-5 at MSRP !!!)
16. Jacobtime
17. Wristwatch,com
18. Discountwatchstore
19. azfinetime (they gots Camo right now!)
20. nextdaywatches (many of the Gs they have listed are Sold Out)
21. Reeds
22. Jomashop
23. Walmart (HaHa, Walmart online has a pretty wide selection now)
24. Watchismo (higher prices but if U can't find anywhere else..)
25. nywatchstore

I found all of these little etailers by spending an insane amount of time running through search engine results. The little known shops are often the best places to shop because they have dead stock of Gs that have sold out everywhere else and they often don't really know what they've got, so they sell really HOT G-Shocks at MSRP while they're being hiked up on Ebay and Amazon.

 

Fantastic post, thanks for the great list of stores.

I buy all of my watches and all hobby relates items on ebay, i actually feel safe buying on ebay.

 

Usual suspects, Ebay, Amazon, Rakuten and a select few online retailers here in the UK and Europe.

i usually order from a shop in Hat Yai, a province close to Thailand-Malaysia border. The price is about the same as those being sold on eBay and amazon but normally a bit cheaper plus no shipping and don't have to bet with the inbound duties. Ever since eBay has the Global shipping program which makes all the parcels arrive to Thailand much slower and more expensive, I tend to buy there less often.

You can add Princeton Watches as well beyond the usual ones already mentioned.

 

I can vouch for Princeton. Great service and never any gouging. However, if they have an item and it is limited model they will run out quickly.

 

Usually from Amazon

Amazon or ebay. Once from Creationwatches.

 

Hi all

I've just ordered a GW4001A from Marv Golden.
Cheapest I could find anywhere, £150 shipped.
Never used 'em before but all emails were answered V quickly and after doing a quick check (before ordering) I couldn't find any bad feedback.
