| 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...]
...because there is no "cost" for entry to sell here. Anyone can post anything for sale so unless it's a well known seller or a seller you can cross check across other forums, I would highly recommend you ASSUME it's a scam and proceed with your checks from that position (meaning be EXTRA diligent). Google their email address...nothing comes up? Probably a scam. Carefully look at the photos from the original post (save them) and then ask for additional photos with specifics (as other have described). Do the additional photos you requested also match the item (Same scuffs/scratches? Same dial version? Same bezel version? etc.) Look at the small things like type of hangtags, type of box, cards, papers, etc...are they the same across photos that include them? Details is what they can't get right. Also, if someone is pricing a HIGH DEMAND watch well below typical prices, you should automatically assume it's a scam, until they can prove otherwise. If you do get scammed even after all this, just accept the fact that you're dumb and no amount of tips or coaching can help. You should probably just stay off the internet altogether.
