December 2019 HUISABH! Thread Stats

Post by MoT »

It's all over!


December, and 2019 that is.

Wow. You maniacs really kept up the pace to end out the year! 641 deals were posted, an increase of 42 over November! I wish I had the stamina some of you legends seem to possess!

No, the record isn't skipping, but [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] is once again on top with 140 deals, though he seems to have taken a bit of a breather as he was down 40 from last month. :lol: Though the amount of deas posted increased, the overall value, as well as percentage savings, slipped slightly, but still ended strong with 60.98% average savings over retail.

A big crop of deal thread newcomers this month, welcome!: [mention]bb_sub[/mention], [mention]Bergbergs[/mention], [mention]Derek80[/mention], [mention]FilthyWatchTan[/mention], [mention]jls36[/mention], [mention]Mercifulfate[/mention], [mention]mitrii[/mention], [mention]Mrbiglens[/mention], [mention]Nsjong[/mention], [mention]ohenry1[/mention], [mention]riggle[/mention], [mention]tuanxuan9891[/mention], [mention]unforced_error[/mention], [mention]zoysiamo[/mention].

To the numbers!

(As always, if there is a particular brand, site or other pieces of data you'd like, let me know and I can provide it.)

Let's remember a few things first:
  • I based these calculations on new and refurbished watches only.
  • I do not include watch accessories or used watches.
  • I only included deals with links.
  • The retail price used was either the retail price listed on the selling website or found on the manufacturer's site.
  • Currency, if not in USD was converted to USD using Google's currency exchange calculator on the date the deal was posted.
  • "Largest" and "Smallest" deal is based solely on the percentage savings from listed retail. I do not make subjective determinations on the brands perceived value. That is up to you, the reader.

I will be posting a "year in review" in the next day or so.

Does anyone have anything specific they'd like to see covered?

For the record, I did try to take things easy in December.
I may need an intervention.

Not to put too much work on you, but a Top 10 for largest and smallest deals for the year might be interesting to see.

But the proof is in the pudding. How many deals were taken advantage of? Not any data for that, but it would be interesting!

perhaps an informal list of the worst retailers, like the Jet fiasco, or Lord and Taylor just throwing watches in boxes and sending them?

If it's easy to do, going forward a top 3 or 5 brands with most deals posted every month.

That would be easy. What wouldn't be easy is determining if we leave Invicta in or out of the Top 10.

That is something I'd love to figure out how to do.

That would be pretty simple.

Hey MoT, do you have or can you easily get the deals thread highest # of deal posts by someone for the last few years on WUS?

The total number of members who posted deals here last year?

Thanks

I could do 2019 and 2018. I don't have any records beyond that.
