I disagree.

I spend a lot of my time on online forums, and not just RG specifically.

That being said, when I wanted to get into the fake watch hobby, I had no idea what I was doing. I bought a BR01-94 and upon receiving it, was disappointed with how big the thing was on my wrist! I never knew a 46mm square face would be so damn gigantic!!

Anyway, I wanted to sell it to a member who would be happy to receive it and not have to deal with the customs issues. Being that I only had 5 or 6 posts at the time, I was not permitted to sell unless I upgraded to VIP.

I think that the main benefit to VIPs of this website is the ability to access the VIP trade forum. I do believe that this trade forum should be invite only and members should have to earn their way in.

Unfortunately for people like myself (<100 posts), the only way we can sell watches we do not like (trial and error) is by upgrading to VIP. If there was another way to confirm the authenticity of a seller with less than 100 posts, I am all for it!! ....but for now, upgrading to VIP is a necessary way to get it done.

I think others would agree with me. I have sold 2 pristine watches here so far and learned a ton, and I am still under 100 posts.
