Sale approved. What does it mean?

Once the sale is approved does that mean that RWI mod/staff confirms that the watch, spare, etc.. being sold matches the description of the sale?

For example, if some is selling a genuine strap or dial and sale gets approved, does that mean RWI confirms that those items listed are genuine?

Means they check sales rules are being followed. I'm sure if they saw something shady they would flag it straight away but many times the members will chime in if they see something suspicious. Admin and mods rely on everyone here to be vigilant and look out for one another because they can't have eyes everywhere.

No. The staff members are not appraisers. Approval to sell is simply approval to sell here. The buyer must conduct their own due diligence. Here or anywhere other than at an AD, do your homework.

True, but they will call out obvious BS.

And so may members call out obvious BS. That is the upside of us being able to post in another's sales thread.

Problem is, what if someone buys quickly, before a Mod or member discovers a glaring issue? It happens.

Let's hope they're paying by regular PayPal and not gift! But yes, wait till the sign is green vs. purple.

Um, no. We are not your keepers or you mothers. Due diligence is down to you to perform.
All it means is that the post meets the requirements ie: seller has enough posts to sell, there is a tagged pic and there are no glaring inconsistencies in the post.

May I remind you of the disclaimer in the sales rules:
RWI, Owners, Staff, Officers or Goats shall be held harmless and neutral to any sale within the sales sections. We disclaim all liability for any loss or damage (psychic, actual, special, direct, indirect and consequential) of every kind and nature, written and unwritten, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with the member to member sale section of Replica-Watch.info.
