It's either "scam" or "dipshit kid wishful thinking". It has the ring of naivety combined with expectations, so I vote the latter.

Reminds me of a guy trying to lowball me on some stuff at a garage sale. He said, I only have $17, what can you do. I finally gave in and he smiled as he pulled a wad of $20s out to pay me.
I took the stuff back and sent him packing...

I received a message like that when selling the SMP... he started by apologizing due to the low-ball offer he was going to make as he was a college student. I don't believe it was scam, but needless to say, I did not sell the watch to him.

Did you reply "Forget about the watches and focus on your studies. Then, in three years, you can buy at full price"?

It's complete bullshit. He's tossing three issues at you in hopes you feel for him. None are likely true.

- high school
- saving for college
- brother with illness

If any of those are true he's an idiot.

- no high school kid needs his "grail" watch yet
- if realty saving for college, it should be his priority
- if his brother is ill and family money is tight, even $600 for a watch is silly.

Tell him to fuck himself.

As much as that tugs at my heartstrings, and I believe every HS student is entitled to have their grail watch, NO!

I think in high-school I wore a Timex Ironman. $40 watch seems about right.

Plenty of time to buy a nice watch later in life. Grails don't need to be picked up in high-school

Any kid who's more interested in watches than spending his money getting chicks drunk needs to reexamine their priorities.

I am 44 years old. My grail watch is a Rolex MilSub. I am willing to pay $600 for it. Times are tough as I have two perfectly healthy children who insist on wearing clothing and eating, and as I have a wife. Won't you help a worthy cause?

I don't have a Speedmaster but do you think he would take my Rolex ND Sub for $600???

No way - it's not his grail.

Also, I would point out this is only a scam if you agree to it and then he doesn't pay you the $600. Otherwise, it's not a scam - it's just irretrievably stupid.

Tell him you are saving for your own 12 seater hot tub, and that keeping your 6 biiaatches in new bikini's & full body waxes is crippling your your vintage Ferrari fund.
Tell him that your brother needs a new 911, as his old one is a bit dirty. Mention he would be doing you a great deed by paying you $8k for the watch, all for a good cause.
