I have another hobby that can only buy/sell mostly with people in the US and Europe using another website.  In my decades of dealing with them buying and selling, I have zero issues. The people there will not lowball and they do not bargain because they think it is disrespectful. Everyone just list their most reasonable price and as a seller, I don't have to purposely mark-up my price with the thought that people will bargain. 

So it is very easy and hassle-free to deal.  This bargaining and lowballing thing is a very local thing which I really hope can be eradicated. 

I think is part of the culture here. And Carousel so call advertisement I feel is also encouraging negotiation for the price. And low ballers comes from those individuals that are everywhere.

I have never felt obliged to tip in US unless their service is superb. 

I am not AM, so I don't know.  Nobody has ever ran towards me and said that I haven't tip....😄

But when comes to their online buy/sell etiquette, I appreciate how they do it. They don't lowball or bargain. But me no AM, so sometimes I bargain and they sometimes just lower my shipping knowing I am an international buyer.....😆

 

Tipping is a way of appreciation. I go to one music bar here, no matter how much I each and drink from 2k THB to having many friends at 5 - 10k THB, I will tip them 500 and 1k at higher bill. Cos they will drive be back at no cost when I drink a lot

I feel tipping is good if you generally feel they have done you exceptional service. It is a form of appreciation and encouragement to them. 😀

we may not like tips here.... that y restaurants charged service charge.. the problem is these goes to the restaurants, not the wait staff.

in americas, a lot of wait staff survive on tips from customers. in generally i tip 10% for 4 or below pax. 15% for bigger grps

someone ever tell me (i dunno true or not): gov tax wait staff on tips based on average of the town..... so u dun tip them, they still get tax

Actually quite a few US restaurants now impose service charges, but tipping is *still* expected. The culture is rotten.

Very nice!  Congrats! This colour seems to be getting popular even though it is quite new. I have been thinking of the Mint Green 36mm in fluted white gold bezel  because I prefer dress watches to be slightly smaller.  

How long do you have to wait for this watch?
