Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. | Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings. |
Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
There are plenty of listings that I say nothing about. I only question suspect watches and sellers that have certain characteristics about their listings. It's pretty obvious (to me apparently) between a legit seller's posting and a scammer. Some people don't know these things which is why I give my $.02.
Does my vigilance bother you and If so why? I get emails all of the time thanking me for my contributions as well as saving those individuals that are less knowledgable in these matters from losing thousands of dollars.
If Jeff wants me to stop doing this I will without question but until then I will request tagged pictures for listings that exhibit certain "signs" of malice. I will also not list these "signs" because that would help those that intend to steal from forum members.
Thank you for your contribution.
