    I don't mind comments at all in the sales threads. Sometimes someone may be able to add something about a watch that the seller didn't include, such as "they don't make this one anymore; rare watch" or "this one is very close to gen", etc.
    Comments like these help the prospective buyer.

    Agreed. Some comments can be very helpful like that.

    It's pretty simple, if your post is complimentary or informative, then it should be welcomed by buyer and seller alike. If not, then keep it to yourself.

    If I see someone asking too much for a watch, or misrepresenting it, I'd rather say something publicly than wait for the argument to start. Some people don't know what they're buying and rely on the community to keep them straight.

    Or are you honestly suggesting we let people sell Asians as Swiss because the buyer should arrive on the forum fully informed?

    Good point Pug. We would consider such comment to be informative as mentioned, and therefore acceptable (and useful) for the benefit of potential buyers.

    That is where the experience of the members helps keep the Sales Section self regulating in terms of fair value and quality.

    "Or are you honestly suggesting we let people sell Asians as Swiss because the buyer should arrive on the forum fully informed?"

    I'll second this. As newb myself.. seeing any potential problem messages would be more helpful than not. Run an honest ship, etc blah blah blah.

    certainly better than bump messages..

    I agree with this as well. It's nice to have the more seasoned members jump in and question things sometimes. Some sellers are not fully aware of what they are selling or haven't listed it correctly or are unsure of some of the details (movement, etc.).
