Good afternoon to you all.
I am new to this forum and was directed here by a sporting forum who,s past times are not to be mentioned on this forum. I appreciate your rules. Long ago , well it seems that way I was an avid watch collector with the means , time and contacts to collect at the right price. My life has changed and a family has taken centre stage to watch collecting. This leaves me with a few remaining watches that I am interested in selling. I know I am new , tell me what I need to do to sell on this site. I am being honest and forward , I am here to sell. Years ago I would have been here to be an active member but time is not my own and I am no longer in a collecting phase. If I offend in this forwardness please advise me and I will exit the forum as I do not wish to offend. If members are interested in what I have I am happy to oblige , as I mentioned I have a couple remaining that I would like to sell. I would prefer they go to avid collectors rather than the melting pot as some shops have suggested....... Thank you for your time One Time Collector ( yes I know its spelt wrong above ....big fingers , small keys ) |

Hi , thanks for the reply.
yes rules are all good I will follow . I am on other forums and understand the importance of having guidelines and rules. I was at one time in the second hand industry and was able to buy watches at very good prices. I always had the idea that one day I might sell them.... As much as I enjoy the beauty of the watches I am not getting them out of the safe to admire or wear as I am not longer in a working environment that lends itself to fine watches that cannot withstand bumps , water and rough treatment. So some will go. Initially a 1922 solid 9ct full hunter ROLEX pocket watch will go. Family want to build an extension on the house so items like the boat , some watches , antique surfboards will go to reduce a little debt and make the reno more enjoyable >.... Its kind of a sad day to be thinking about it. Like selling one of my kids LOL |

Welcome to TRF. If you want to sell, make sure you post all sales on the Sale forum and follow the rules that are clearly set out there.
Be aware that you may not get much traction being a newbie here with no track record. But that's just my .
