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.

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.).

I had someone post a negative comment on a strap I was selling and then have the nerve to ask to buy just the deployment from me. I definitely could have done without that post!

Wow...talk about "wasting bandwidth"

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.

I also agree sometimes with the unnecessary clutter. Although it's not about the bandwidth, it's more about the clutter that each reader has to go through.

This thread is cluttering the forum. I just wasted 45 minutes of my bosses time reading it. (Apart from Dave's posts which i skipped).

**R2D4** · 01-29-2008, 02:55 PM

To be honest, I really don't mind the cheer-leading. It's the friggin novels and drama I could do without. It should be noted that PMing someone privately on a price or mistake is more appropriate than publicly posting. Although it should also be noted that public corrections can be done tastefully.

Not placing a support comment on a sale thread is like ignoring my wife on our aniversary day, or birthday, or Cupido's day.

Remember, this site is about watches and support of their members.
Just my opinion!

**sead1999** · 01-29-2008, 05:14 PM

i dont mind the comments because bums the tread and helps the sale

**Uzi** · 01-29-2008, 05:16 PM

If I saw a sales thread without positive comments, I would be wary.

**Dave123** · 01-29-2008, 05:37 PM

Well,at least i can post whatever i want,seems everyone skips mine...

Except the Mods....

**caravaggio** · 01-29-2008, 07:55 PM

Be nice.

Agree. The problem also is the possitive comments about a watch that is not very good. I believe many newbies rely on others for comments.

You guys pissed Frank off. He never came back.

Hope you enjoy your watch, Xyphis. Post pics when you get it.

When I am on a sales thread and a member on here who knows Panerais or Rolexes well comments that what's up for sale looks good or is a decent deal, I do pay attention as member support may reinforce that a watch for sale is a good deal. What's also telling or me is when there is 'silence' when a watch is put up for sale.
