Since PP gifts aren't actually banned ...

[Drhulee]

I guess not.

There was a time when Stan (WBK),Ruby,Josh,Trevor,Sead even (RG days,whats happened to him lately?)

They would post sales on a daily basis,many more dealers as well,i just mention a few.

The only scammers we had to worry about was the owner (s) of RWI,a different setup but frankly,the largest sales forum for members,you put up watches,bought as i posted above,simple. The sales forum they had for members made the sales forum here look like a night full of crickets. It was huge and mainly,problem free. There was the odd guy,but for the volume it was nothing,dealers and members selling freely,now it seems complicated.

Sorry man,i know you get offended by my posts and i dont post often anymore,but a whole new breed and i guess i see why our dealers dont post much anymore and our old members look in the background while you guys figure out how to deal with each other these days....

I don't get offended with your posts Dave, just not sure why you keep dwelling in the past. As the board gets more traffic and becomes less of a "group of few", it will be used more by unscrupulous members for their own profit and misdeeds. We're just trying to cut down on this happening before it gets out of hand, while not scaring off people from participating in the sales areas.

As for older members just staying in the background, I've only been a member here since May '09, and all the members whose posts I followed back then are still actively posting - well except for one or two who have been banned, but suspect they're probably back under different usernames

They are more of a 'group of few' actually. 1-20,000 left long ago,you missed it. Thats what i'm trying to say.

But you are right,you are fighting the good fight.

Just be carefull guys,buy and sell from the trusted,and trusted by yourself,nobody else,and by your rules. That seems to be the way it is today.

Good luck.

I'm part of this "new breed" and honestly I don't see anything wrong with having rules and guidelines to safeguard both buyers and sellers on trades, by the contrary.

If I'm buying something online or not I buy by my rules, I buy by my price, I buy when I feel confortable with it not by the sellers rules, after all he's the one selling and I don't have to buy anything from him by his terms if I don't feel confortable in doing so.
You're talking about the way it is today... it seems like you want a forum where everyone trusts everyone else and where sellers can freely dictate their rules. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a world where we could trust everyone? Wouldn't it be nice that every single human being would be honest and trustworty? Wouldn't it be nice if there was no need for wars in the middle east? Wouldn't it be nice that in this day and age people wouldn't have to suffer from famine in certain regions?
Dave mate with all due respect wake up, thats utopic, that is not the case, never has been the case and never will be the case, there are scumbags everywhere and unfortunately they will find their way here if they think they can take advantage of us.
If you can limit these by introducing a few simple rules, then please do, although the sales area might loose a few sales from some people that can't be bothered with posting, honestly these are people that even if they are honest and trustworthy, bring very little to the community other than maybe a nice watch every now and again for sale.

Going to have to look back to see where the problem is.

Buy or dont sounds right to me?...,but then again i only buy from dealers when it comes to these watches,there is not enough to be saved by not doing so....
