    Alternatively, “looking for what it owes me”. It’s a watch, or any other commodity posted on SC, but whatever it is, it doesn’t owe you a damn thing.

    Why not? It's likely a second-hand watch that has already done the bulk of its depreciation since new. If there has been no material change in condition or function, then after a couple of weeks why should the value have changed?

    The problem comes when someone near gives something away in a mad rush to sell.

    Then if you ask over what you paid you get accused of being a rip off merchant and profiteering from the forum.

    Even though it was completely undervalued by the original seller.

    Quite a common term which really means that the seller would like what he paid for it back , not really hard to understand is it ?
