Knuppel 1 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) So my sales post just got nuked. Firm but fair, i forgot to read the rules. Now, i'm into watches., but probably not as much as most of you. I buy one ocassionally, and when i'm fed up with it i sell it and buy another. We're talking once every 2 years. This happens to be the time when i'll be active on the forum. If i were to sell my watch, i need to be A) very active on this forum, or B) donate €35 per year. I don't have the time for A, and B seems like a bit much for maybe one post per year. I'd be willing to donate like €5 or €10, if I could then sell my watch. Has RWG thought of adding a light user subscription? (whilst keeping the minimum registration time). I think a lot of users would be interested, those who like watches, but aren't making a hobby out of it. Edited February 4, 2022 by Knuppel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splke 4,433 Posted February 4, 2022 You only have to make 50 half decent posts pal. Few piccies of you watched and maybe a hello thread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil 2,995 Posted February 4, 2022 Think of all the idiot you would get trying to scam if it wasn't for option A or B... It's there for good reason in my opinion, I see no need for a "light subscription" as I'm sure people would try abuse it. As said above, make a few posts a day, maybe of your watch or ask some questions and reply with your opinions to threads... It takes no time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tribefan 6,768 Posted February 4, 2022 This is a watch forum, with a M2M sales feature, not a sales forum about watches. If you find it a hassle to have 50 posts in five years, then can't really help you out. We're talking less than 1 post a month here. We don't do anywhere near the sales volumes of RWI or RG because it is mostly members shuffling watches about to each other. 28 quid for VIP is not intended to be an avenue for sales, but a benefit for helping keep the lights on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we'd all be interested in getting Ginger enrolled in this asap, maybe there's even a Superlite Membership we can slide him into?

Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted February 5, 2022 So OP- you rarely want to contribute a post, but you do want a safe place to buy & sell a watch, and your compromise is to contribute a fraction of the standard fees and in return you want the safe, hosted board , moderated for free board, to change things around to accommodate you?

brang1 4,096 Posted February 5, 2022 you can please some people all of the time, no, thats not right-you can please lots of people for a short time - nope - you can't please all the people all of... ahh Fuck it - i want a Super Lite Membership 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jibuti 958 Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I might contribute sixpence to OP's subscription. After that he must become my shoeshine boy till the end of his days. Edited February 5, 2022 by Jibuti 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted February 14, 2022 So I noticed @Knuppel is still logging in. Since the OP posed his question in the flame free section, can I suggest we form a committee, discuss, debate and decide so when the OP returns in 2 years, to a forum to sell a fake watch that he (or whatever the appropriate pronoun is) has tired of, we can maybe have a 'light membership' (or not) available to suit the OP. Unfortunately, I won't be available to chair..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to at least contribute - pretty hard when its a quiet forum even on a good day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
