Soup Nazi Sellers

[sixers_610]

It's common but I always laugh when I see a seller in his sales thread that says, "this is how it's going to be" "Not my problem" Blah blah.

I have no problem with the rules they're setting, but with the way they're saying it. Do they realize that they sound like jerks that people may not want to deal with?

Take a hint from me, and try some social etiquette. As an eBay powerseller and someone who sells tons of watches on here, a polite thread is always better. Hell, I even throw a "thanks for looking" at the end of most if not all my threads..

"Buy this watch. If it doesn't work, that's your problem. Screw you, buddy. Thanks for looking!"

[sixers_610]

That's a step in the right direction!

[jeffw69]

Yes, I agree.
I steer clear of those sellers.

[kbh]

Agreed! Listing 10 negatives in a row concerning who you'll sell to, PP fees, CONUS only, net to me, shipping fees, tough sh#t if it doesn't arrive, not responsible for Customs, etc., etc., doesn't inspire confidence as a buyer.

Marketing 101: Positive ads sell products much faster than negative ones.

[sixers_610]

Glad others agree.

Not to mention the reason why I like RG over the other forums is that the members here are pretty awesome, not dbags.

No Watch for YOU!!!!

let the record show, and me to admit, that I did a deal with cuerep a few years ago, and I was definitely a jacka$$ about it.

[genoint]

if someone doesnt stand behind their watch, there is something wrong with it. That is the way I look at it anyway.

[sixers_610]

I think they're typically standing behind their watch, it's the way they come across.

[The Dude]

Yes, I agree.
I steer clear of those sellers.

I love how some guys act as if they're doing you a favor by allowing you to purchase their watch. I avoid these sellers like I would a one armed tranny midget hooker.

YES!

Dude.. you're selling me a replica watch produced in China for next to nothing. Get over yourself.

[OmegaPOFL]

i know exactly what you're talking about..

although i think they might have had a bad dealing in the past, so they make everything xtal clear so as to not have any problems..

That's true. But it doesn't mean you need to come off like a dbag. If you're angry, then deal with it on your own time.

[The Dude]

YES!

Yeah, but he oiled and polished the bracelet all by himself. That makes him a modder and adds at lease $100 in value to the watch. And don't forget the gen spring bars...

[sixers_610]

Gen spring bars??? OMG. I think I just got a gen spring bar in my pants from hearing about them.

[jeffw69]

There IS something to be said about one armed tranny hookers though.

Your awesome in my book Jeff

[jeffw69]

Thanks man!

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

[elvis]

^^^^^yeah that little bltch is creeping me out man.^^^^^

[sixers_610]

Wow.

[elvis]

usually these type of sellers have a misconceived sense of self importance. and if i dont get the right kind of vibe i wont mess with the deal no matter how good it is. i would rather buy a watch that is ok, from someone i like than to buy a watch that is better from someone i dont like. just like with the new watches. PICK YOUR DEALER THEN, PICK YOUR WATCH!

[sixers_610]

Yep. That's why it doesn't get better to me than BK. he is super polite more than anything else. A good guy. Same with Rudy (rsh2)

In the midst of all the BUYER conditions most sellers place on their inquirers, how about a set of SELLER ground rules which I have found helpful when selling:

1. photograph everything and send the pics to the buyer. No confusion about what went into the package and how it was packed...
2. send the buyer a pic of the shipping docs. That way, they know how it was sent, what the cost of the shipping actually was, what carrier to expect a knock on the door from, and any reference numbers provided by the shippers.
3. Be realistic. That "TZ rating of 97%" thing gets me every time. The watch either has wear marks which are obvious and must be disclosed, or the wear marks are so small that no-one without a loupe could notice - and if there are marks or scratches, your pics should then form a part of the description.

Also - a good buyer will tell you when they receive what you have sent. You can then be sure about the same approximate delivery time (and you can mention it with some confidence) for getting the next watch you sell to a buyer from the same area. AND - a good buyer will have no problem sending a short note to the site here to say that the deal was a good one and done in accordance with the promises made, when the goods are delivered. I do use this facility on this site and have found it very useful.
It is all a matter of common courtesy and professionalism, IMHO.
Out of interest - if I see the words "CONUS only" I dont bother contacting the seller to ask if what they said is what they meant. Harsh, but thats the way it is. But it never ceases to amaze me that sellers often miss out on deals because they are not prepared to go to a Post Office and fill out a form (with the notable exception of sellers who ship without insurance, because I know things sometimes go astray - but who in their right mind would ship without insurance and/or a reliable tracking number anyway??? - given that it is at the buyers cost, if the deal is structured properly, or the risk of loss falls on the buyer if the seller has done everything right).
JMHO.
