To buy, to sale,to swap...why it is so difficult ...
I think this is an interesting topic. The section of the sale of watches always intrigued me to know who really is for.No one is going to send a considerable amount of money a person without verifiable references. This happened to me recently and the only ones they can negotiate are the dealers, but for someone who wants to make a single sale, purchase or trade is impossible. I think that it would be something to try to do more face to face transactions between people of the same area. Be very difficult? Are saying?
I hope you guys can undestand what I want to say my because I am not a native american and at my age it is not easy to learn. |

I sold a watch recently, and it was my first. I basically just answered all of the questions, gave them my phone # for contact purposes, and as many pictures as they wanted to show that it was real.
For a first time seller, you'll need to go out of your way to put them at ease. It can be difficult, but someone who has been on here, has a "few" posts to their name and seems to be active in the discussions helps.

I sold mine via eBay. It has a larger audience. They buyer kinda put it on lay a way. He paid me 90% up front and the rest a month later. When it was paid in full I sent him the watch. I don't plan to sell any of the ones I have now so I'll never have to go through that again.

I have bought a couple of watches here on TRF with no problems (other than shipping time) but have never sold anything

I've had no problems buying and selling on this site. References are the name of the game. The way you get them is to start buying and selling. Also helps to be a regular contributor on TRF with multiple posts.
