Unnecessary comments on sale threads..>>>

**frankt** · 01-29-2008, 04:39 AM

It really is unnecessary to post on a for sale thread if you're not a buyer, or have a legitimate question about the watch being offered...Posts like: Nice watch!!...Or...I wish I could buy it, or that's on my wish list, only serve to clutter up the forum, and waste bandwidth...Chances are, the seller already KNOWS how nice his watch is!!...He don't need to be reinforced...Just my 2c...

Sometimes members are supporting their friends and fellow members with comments.

I think there is nothing wrong with it.

Positive comments left on a sales thread are acceptable here. The bandwidth issue is short term as threads are deleted once the sale is completed or withdrawn.

What I find totally tasteless is the badmouthing of watches or discussion of possible faults or weaknesses in the thread.
The buyer knows what they are buying, in all probability.

Bandwidth is not an issue at all. Usually members like to support the sales or just wish they could buy it. I am guilty of making such comments too. However if there is a converstion going on that is beyond the sale then yes we will step in and correct it.

**Dave123** · 01-29-2008, 05:10 AM

hehe,the guy i had in mind,TXT...

all kidding aside,the comments should not be used in sales threads as the original poster suggests,i agree....

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.

i dont mind the comments in the thread. they are good i think. unless they are off topic and nothing to do with the watch.

**Anubis** · 01-29-2008, 05:50 AM

I like the taste of the green clouds the best.

+1

(yes i know the +1 thing is lazy.....but i was just going to type the same thing anyway, maybe adding some spelling errors)

**sixbennetts** · 01-29-2008, 06:48 AM

Comments are the politest of bumps.

**Mr.RadioActive** · 01-29-2008, 07:05 AM

**Xyphis** · 01-29-2008, 07:36 AM

Good luck in your sale

Great watch

**Xyphis** · 01-29-2008, 07:37 AM

**Questions** · 01-29-2008, 07:49 AM

Nice watch m8,

or wasn;t that the question?

**seraphe** · 01-29-2008, 08:26 AM

I do agree sometimes with the unnecessary clutter. It's not really about the bandwidth, but the clutter of unrelated or repeated information that each reader has to go through.

To avoid this, we need to...
1) read through each post and avoid repeating question/comment and
2) keep your question/comment short or paragraphed if it's long.
