Dusk 1 Posted January 26, 2018 I've sold a few watches on here since RWI went down and although the m2m section is slower for sure it also has a lot of plus points over RWI. It's virtually devoid of thread crappers Low balling seems less common Time wasters are rare Less sketchy arseholes in general No way a slur on RWI which is a huge forum with all sorts of people but this just seems a nicer place to trade because its smaller and more personal perhaps. The moaners should sign up to VIP and buy and sell on here as well as RWI when it comes back. Happy Friday! Share this post Link to post
Chiquita Fanjita 1,782 Posted January 26, 2018 Well said mate. We're a lovely bunch here Well, most of us Share this post Link to post
RUSH2112 11 Posted January 26, 2018 A lot less “modifications” that drive up the price here. I check rwi m2m regularly and don’t see bargains. Quite common to find bargains here. Share this post Link to post

Some of the thread crapping is over the top on RWI and causes us nothing but headaches. Unfortunately the sales area is so busy we just cannot catch them all. Share this post Link to post

All you have to do is join as a VIP as you've already met the other requirements. You can then sell multiples, and you will have access to our Subscriber's only section with lots more benefits.

yllekp 1,684 Posted January 26, 2018 When I am selling on RWI I put a condition in that if you say "I'll take it" funds must be received within the hour of me giving PP details. Most people pay within minutes. I also usually end up selling to people I know well and have had multiple deals with. But as seller I have come across many time wasters on RWI my descriptions are generally bang on but you still get the weirdest questions. Basically some people want a gen for rep money and have not bothered their bottoms to research stuff before hand. As a Mod I have certainly come across many timewasters over there it sours the sales section for experienced sellers. Share this post Link to post
Junior88 387 Posted January 26, 2018 I'm pretty new to this hobby, and I purchased my first M2M watch this week. I've seen quite a few bargains, to be honest. More often than not it isn't something I'm interested in, and when something I AM interested in comes up it disappears real quick. You've gotta be fast on the M2M purchases here. They don't last long, and it appears to me at least to be for good reason. Share this post Link to post
RussP 22,326 Posted January 26, 2018 I'm surprised to discover that so many of you are RWI mods masquerading as RWG members. Perhaps our mods should consider giving you guys a special coloured title, to ensure that you're not treated as noobs by the rest of us less-informed members ? Just a suggestion........

ShovelnTC 31 Posted January 26, 2018 The main thing to remember on any forum is that if you are selling a 116610 Sub then you are going to get a whole bunch of stupid questions, new members, low ballers and disapearing buyers right after you give them your PP details. Share this post Link to post

Left Coast Guy 24 Posted January 26, 2018 RWG is definitely my home forum, but the Sales section is a mixed bag. I'd agree with the points here, but at the same point, there are just less eyes on the M2M section here so it can be harder to sell stuff here and certainly harder to find stuff to buy, if you're after something specific. Whereas there is a constant flow over at RWI.....with all the good and bad that comes with that... Low ballers over on RWI are the worst. Or I guess more to say, the guys who just troll the M2M section, don't participate at all, and just constantly lob in basement offers are the worst. I'm always amazed when folks lob in a bid $100+ below asking within 5 minutes of posting the watch For Sale......then follow-up 2-3 times when I don't respond to their garbage offer. And to be perfectly clear, there is no exaggeration there whatsoever.....I've had guys offer $100 for a watch listed at $250 (and ended up selling for full price) Share this post Link to post
