Hi

I just joined the site today, didn't know about it till now!

I've got a nice watch I'm selling on another site. I would like to put it on here, but without my 50 post minimum I realise that I can't.

I have many references; several watch deals in the last few weeks (I'm new to the whole watch thing) but also 5 years of ebay feedback, 300+ transactions @100%.

If anyone is interested in it, let me know. I might just have the watch you have been waiting for.

Thanks
fbk

OK, I'll tell him you told me! ;)

Seriously, I read that a mod can grant selling priviledges. I was hoping one would read this.

If nothing else I'll get my 50 posts up this way anyway :cool:

The purpose of the 50 posts, and/or referal from someone at 3T who knows you, is to make sure that the watches listed on the watch cycle sales area are from members whom we all know and regularly visit the forum.

So what is the purpose of the following comment in the "rules" area:

...unless approved otherwise through one of the admins who will vouch for the seller.

I'm not going to make 50 posts just so that I can sell a watch, that proves nothing. I'd rather have someone vouch for me based on previous experience, which is what I asked.

No problem though, I'll just sell it elsewhere where I've already got references. Was just that I saw a member here saying they wanted the particular watch I am selling, I thought it was polite not to link to the ad I've got elsewhere, but they'll find it if they really want it.

Thanks anyway.

Hi again

I didnt mean to put anyones nose out of joint. I fully comprehend (and appreciate the reasons for) the rules pertaining to someone establishing a reputation here before being allowed to sell/trade. I thought that would have been apparent from my first post, at least that was my intention. I would never expect anyone to do a deal with someone who joined that day as a member of an online community; I wouldnt do that either.

The point of my first post was to make it clear that:

a) I had read and understood the rules
b) I was a reputable seller with prior history
c)I was hoping that someone with whom I had previously dealt with would recognise me
d) I respected the fact that I should introduce myself rather than say "psst, wanna buy a watch?".

I'm not going to PM someone when I am a brand new member! I thought I was doing the right thing by introducing myself publicly. Apparently not. Sorry about that.

Anyway, hopefully this message has not been lost in translation. I have a nice Doxa watch for sale. It is advertised elsewhere, and I have many prior positive references. If I can't advertise it here, thats fine. Like I said, the right buyer will find it eventually anyway.

Regards
fbk
