andypandy1961 4 Posted October 27, 2023 Hi, great to see the forum is still up and running, with all the same great content and banter. I have been away from the forum after bad health ( Covid related) but now hopefully getting back to normal. After a long absence I was wondering what my status and eligibility to sell some of my collection on the forum. I need to thin the collection out a bit as most of my watches are not getting any wrist time and hopefully pass them on to other members who can appreciate them. Also because I’ve been away from the scene for a while , I’m not sure of the value of the watches and would hate to get off to a bad start, by asking too much. Most of my watches were purchased from members of the forum, so is there any way I can look back to see what I purchased them for, because I don’t expect to make a profit on them as that would be unfair. All the best and sorry for all the questions Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FudgyDocker 3,500 Posted October 27, 2023 You mean you don't have an Excel spreadsheet, like @Pesman , saying what they are, what factory, and what you paid for them? I thought everyone had one of those 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted October 27, 2023 Glad to hear you're on the mend! Some changes have occurred here as well, non-VIP can only sell one at a time and only 3 in a 30 day period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the best and sorry for all the questions Andy it’s been a while! Currently for non supporters it’s 3 individual items (separate posts) in 30 days. One at a time. You’ll be shocked at current prices and may find that you don’t want to sell rare birds. on some it’s not profiteering if it has a market price above your purchase. Advise on valuation is tricky. Depending on the brands there are members happy to help when that’s their go to. Looks like you may have bought a few from @Simonix, he’s one of my go to’s for helping with valuations, fountain of knowledge that man. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reacher01 9 Posted October 27, 2023 Good luck! I'm also back in order to sell a watch. I'm hoping to find more people here after that little stunt they pulled on RWI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a fair warning, you're still 33 posts shy of the needed 50 to post something for sale. Or you'll need to become a VIP. Welcome back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like you may have bought a few from @Simonix, he’s one of my go to’s for helping with valuations, fountain of knowledge that man. I joined this forum in 2012, and I have always agreed with the no-profiteering rule! It is fair to say however that in the past 11 years, prices have risen for replica watches, and I'm not only talking about new ones from the TD's. Is it really profiteering if you sell a watch for more than you paid for it many years ago, bearing in mind that if you had sellers remorse and wanted to buy another of the same watch, you'd have to pay the market value? I've sold a few where I later thought to myself I'd sold cheap compared to others I've seen selling on M2M! 1 hour ago, Reacher01 said: Now it's for everything. Btw I get it that they want money, but the fact that they want an ID really irks me I don't think this is a bad thing. RWI are quite obviously trying to protect their members from potentially unsavoury sellers! I know is seems to be insulting to a genuine seller, but you have to remember the market place we're in - not all sellers of replica fake watches are the stand up guys they'd have you believe they are! Fortunately RWG seems to be a smaller, more friendly website, and more often than not those selling higher value watches tend to be known and well regarded members. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been a member here for many years, even if I mostly lurk only. Btw I don't think that asking for ID helps in any way at all. It's just a way to give people a false sense of security. You need to to look at member history when buying a watch. You have to talk to them. Try to understand if it's an honest person or a scammer. I don't like when forum moderators cosplay as the police. They don't have the ability nor the right to do that. Edited October 27, 2023 by Reacher01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh we very much take potential profiteering on a case by case basis. Thankfully the market decides and is very quick to report chancers and burn them at the stake here! not one for @Popperini smashing everything with a hammer, calling it vintagized and asking ££££’s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even kids can get a fake ID, today. Also, I'm getting old. I'm from a generation that still remembers what privacy is. And the fact that a fake watches forum asks me for ID is bullshit.
