I feel rather guilty posting up the rules. I am not one for loads of rules, I posted them so those that could be bothered could get a fuller idea of how it worked. The rules just covered loads of different situations.

For me, the real issue is transparency. Pretty simple really.

If all the questions and answers were posted in teh threads then at least everyone is buying with the same info and doesn't need to ask the same questions over and again.

Also, the first person to post in the thread that they will buy it, is then obliged to buy. If they retract on their offer, causing the seller to lose out, they get a one months sales forum ban unless they have a good reason that convinces the admins they pulled out legitimately.

Either way guys, luckily I have bought a couple of secondhand watches here with few issues but I do sympathise with both buyers and sellers when things go wrong.
