There is always eBay, Craigslist, TZ, and the like.

And yes, daunwaun, conceptually "their playground, their rules"............however, I do believe that these rules embody that which the majority of us do believe in, and make for a more satisfying overall experience here..........and the concept of "their playground, their rules" is also something which I like, being one who appreciates order and predictability......

Just my worth.......

It might be of interest to know that a large percentage of mod action is a result of member(s) reporting a post or thread.

In the main, the forum's members set the tone.

OK, who's the Judas now?
I wonder how many of the greys act as middle men in some of the sales here? My understanding is that some may do but they keep quite about it. Just my humble opinion...of course i may be wrong.

I for one think it's a good rule and feel safer as a buyer knowing that it's in place.

I don't want to waste my time negotiating with a "seller" that doesn't actually have the watch in question.

I think you just gave TMI, OP.

And it's not just about this rule. I personally would never relate that a watch was being sold due to a need for money due to hard times. It certainly can't help you out as a seller.
