Unfortunately I don't have any pictures.

I sat down and went through this guys watches at this estate sale and I gave him an honest price on everything. I also gave my phone number and then a week later went back to his house and he said he was looking everything up on eBay and he would get back to me. today he got back to me saying he would gladly sell me everything I made an offer on. But I've been very annoyed with him ever since I've dealt with him. Should I buy them? Or should I walk away?

I spent $20 on 1 item and made 150 bucks at his sale. I wanted to spend $250, on the watches. I think I can make $500+ as there was some omega parts but the guys kind of a jerk. so I'm thinking I should just block his number and never deal with him again. He'll look back when he goes to a dealer one day and get offered $30 and wish He would've taken it or should I call him back and buy the watches? Should I put his prickness off to the side so I can make money?

I normally wouldn't ask but I'm out of town and I've done well besides what I haven't bought from him. Would you put rudeness off to the side to make some bucks or leave it as is? There's a chronograph watch in the mix that works but I don't remember the name offhand? I want to say Crawford? There are 11 watches in total. Nine of them are parts which includes a gold filled very thin pocket watch. This may be my only pic...

Hmm. Depends on if you want to deal with him again, but if he has been a butthole to you in the past throw him a lowball and see if he bites.
 

Yeah I think I'm going to pass. There was a couple pieces in there I want but I don't know.
 

I deal with any A Hole I can make money off of. I do add something to the price selling and discount for the pleasure when Buying. I call it the A Hole tax.

Never stop dealing with someone because they are being prickly. Just make sure its worth your time. hand it back to him BTW and if he calls you on it just say that you are treating him like he treats you. He may soften up. I have had it happen. Oh and BTW I would not pay 250 for that box of trash. Just me. I need to make 3x what I buy for to make it worth my while. 1/3 cost 1/3 marketing and 1/3 profit. Rule if thumb Youngen
 

There's an Omega 14k gold strap latch... not sure what's it called. Buried in there too.
 

If he is a old guy then most are rude and buttholes. I can be one sometimes. Since he looked them up on ebay he will be worse when it come to making him a offer he does not like. If that is the case just walk away.
 

I will deal with anyone that I can make money on. If he will take a low enough offer, then it is worth your time and headache.:icon_king:

I don't see much there but trust your judgement.
 

Life is short and there is always another deal to be had. And maybe a better one.
 

See if that V nickel is dated 1913. If so, give him anything he wants, including your soul and children.
