: Hi Jeff,
: In those last times scammers seem to be stronger than ever, and
: this makes Chronotrader always more dangerous for buying watches
: from not well-known collectors...fortunately the users make a
: wonderful job to catch the scammers, but the risk to fall into
: their net is high...

: I know you don't wanna be the "sheriff" of this wonderful
: forum and of the affiliated Chronotrader, but, at this point,
: why not put some few basic rules for everyone wants to sell
: their watches on this forum?
: Obviously the well-known users would not need them (who would not
: trustly buy a watch from Darren, or Amer, or Jorge, or StewartM,
: just to quote the first names that come in my mind) but there
: are many people new here that arrive and post their FS ads
: without any knowledge about them...

: Would be quite simple IMO, e.g.
: - not allowed put on sale a watch without any image of it;
: - at least one image must have, on the background and near the
: watch, the date and the email (or the nick name) of the seller,
: written obviously with a pencil and not as post-elaboration of
: the image.

: On other fora a new user must present himself (sometimes in a
: separate room) before he can post something, here instead seems
: more and more like a Far-West...

: My 2 cents.

: Best.

am absolutely agree, and would add the requirement to enter the price.
