Hey, movement is movement.

The grade is lower, but it's a show-er.

So much for hoping my MST ships this week,

No movement in a week now I think on any of mine. What's the oldest modern out there right now?

I have an 8/04 MST at QC

I think the difference is, people know they are buying a fake watch where they are lead to believe the tmnt 1 is real.

 

The other difference is that the watch manufacturer loses money by losing sales of items currently in production, whereas the publisher of TMNT no longer sells first printings of issue #1. In other words, the manufacturer gets screwed in your first example, and they buyer in your second.

Ah, but if the person buying said watch never intended on purchasing the original and only bought the knock-off due to it's attractive price... does the manufacturer really suffer?
