You are Certainly Welcome Here / My Suggestion

In Response To: Re: I Had the Same Thoughts, After Reading the EBay Listing ()

It is late night, so let me give you a quick reaction: I believe that everything goes better if you begin your first message (inquiry) with the following type of information: that you have recently obtained this watch, that you are planning to sell it, and that you are seeking information so that you can describe the watch properly in the sale listing. With this disclosure, our members can make the decision whether they want to spend the time doing the research and writing the message, in order to assist a seller.
I receive e-mail messages every single day from people who have come to own these old Heuers and are seeking information. For whatever reason, I am usually more enthusiastic to help the grandson who has found his grandfather's old watch, and will cherish it, and seeks to learn more about it. I am sometimes less enthusiastic about helping the dealer who has gone to a watch show, found something that seems to be a bargain, and now seeks to maximize the profit on this quick "flip". Of course, there are other dealers who are my friends, and I will spend hours helping them learn about their watches to maximize their profits. And I don't care whether they are selling on ebay or at Antiquorum . . . all the same to me.
The point is simple -- when you provide some information about why you are asking questions, then readers can consider how much time and effort they will expend in order to assist in your endeavor.
So you are welcome here; you have found a couple of interesting Heuers. If you will provide some additional background information with your question, then members of the community will be less likely to feel used or abused.
