Just What are "Trusted Sellers"?

[Shore Guy]

Are they individuals who are constantly making bad choices in their purchases thereby requiring them to constantly flip? Or are they individuals who are resellers of used watches purchased from various sources?

Whatever the answer, I myself would rather pay full price at an AD who I can instruct to order me what I want and let me open the plastic coffin that the watch arrives in instead of having it baking in a showcase or worse in a window receiving direct sunlight. Also I don't like the idea of a watch that I purchased from an AD having been handled by others including people who have just finished walking their dog.

It seems that the only rational for dealing with "Trusted Sellers" is if you are interested in a vintage watch or a more recent one which is no longer available to purchase new. This is an expensive hobby and it seems strange that saving money enters into the mix. If you want to save money, consider buying fewer watches.
