I think this ebayer may have an unclear understanding of the Citizen USA watch warranty:
"All the watches on this listing were purchased from the factory warehouse that is an authorized Citizen dealer.  My aunt purchased the watches with her employee discount in Torrance, CA and I am just reselling it for her on the Internet. If there are anymore questions about warranty, please let me know."
Update: His BM6400-00E went for $82, not too bad for an item offered by on-line AD at $133 (formerly $105.) |

Agreed.
Why would they blab about their aunt buying them for cheap and then reselling for profit? Seems like a good way to piss prospective buyers off.

The issue, in this instance IMHO, is that the seller states that any defects in the watches are to be taken up with the manufacturer under their warranty when, it appears to me, the manufacturer's warranty would not be honored in this instance. |

No idea if it's transferrable. Sure eBay is all about buying low and selling high. It just seems that "hey my aunt got these for cheap with an employee discount" is a good way to get people to want to pay less for them. |
