Whether you're new to the hobby or been watch collecting for a while, you may notice that whether you're searching for a GA-2100/2110 or a Rolex, one of the major considerations is "Can I get it for retail?"
The market is filled with flippers and this is to be expected but not necessarily accepted! A watch is only worth what you're willing to pay and it's important to set a budget and decide what it's worth to you. We'll save this for a future post and focus on getting a GA-2100/2110 for MSRP.
Pricing
Regardless of what people tell you about how hard it is to get a Casioak, paying over retail is your choice. Patience and a little bit of effort is going to help you get that Casioak without supporting someone else's watch fund! There is nothing wrong with buying, trading or selling watches (all of us enthusiasts have done it), but this is a G-SHOCK. Casio intended to make this piece accessible and it's not going anywhere anytime fast. It will be freely available sooner or later. While some colorways may be "rare", always remember, in the watch hobby, rare doesn't always mean valuable.
MSRP
Casio's retail price (see their retail page HERE) has been well documented since G-Central covered it upon release.
United States: $99 USD
Canada: $129.99
Japan: 13,500 JPY
UK: £99.90
NL: 99 EUR
Please note Taxes and Duty depend on your location.
Secondary Market
In Canada, auction sites, forums, classifieds etc. are listing at $140-$360. That's up to nearly 300%. As you're well aware, the hype of the Casioak has made it as hard to get this G-SHOCK as it is to move up "the list" for a Daytona.
Retailers
Due to the ongoing shortage of Casioak's available I have decided to create this list of dealers online or locally who carry the GA2100/2110. Although not all of these places may have them in-stock, they may restock regularly! Please contact me on Instagram or e-mail me and I will add locations to the list to support other enthusiasts on their hunt. Authorized Dealers ONLY.
Here are a list of retailers divided by location and links to their webpages.
