Seriously guys. I'm pro rwi and pro rules of course.
I know people here from almost day one. I have private numbers and even met a few. Hell I've even sent out watches to people to try them because I consider them friends.
I've sent numerous parts for free or to try if they fit and they paid me afterwards.

Why is he bashed because of the missing sale? Isn't it enough to tell him he won't get a support? It's no watch sale from a shady member or wannabe seller nor of any high value.
He isn't asking for any intervention and even tries to keep the other members details private. He just wants an opinion.

In my opinion you're overreacting a little bit...

He is not being bashed (I think)
Just that it's unfortunate that this went south without documentation
literally half of the posts are about the missing sale. I consider that bashing.

i respect the rules and they are good for the most part but a simple:

"do you have a sale?
no?
so you wont get any support or opinion here."

would be enough i guess. so he knows he needs a sale for that question.

@tbandy

my opinion: he paid 60 shipped which i assume is the price for the bracelet. you wouldnt charge him 51,49 usd. so the shipping was basically free.
he got 60 refunded which is already very generous from you. So in my opinion he is the one who needs to pay for the shipping back to you.

If someone is hit by a car on the street and breaks their arm, do you also ask if they ran the red light and refuse to help if they broke the rule?
Jesus Christ, he's just asking a simple question and now he knows that he should have made a reserved sale. Let him burn in hell :rolleyes:

There's the possibility to make a reserved sale like I do with Nur-Uhr actually.
He is an absolutely gentleman, I trust him and possibly I would had done it backdoor also but like this is the best way, he and I on the safe side.
@tbandy:
You've learned your lesson I think, we all humans and make mistakes ...
Just my opinion ...

Maybe I'm just a bad person but I would let the buyer take the loss. He could have re listed it and got the new buyer to pay the additional shipping.
I agree. At the end of the day it’s only $60 and they would no doubt just be able to resell it.

You buy the ticket. You gotta take the ride.

... This thread sure has taken a few unexpected turns. Who knew such a simple opinion question would lead to us talking about someone getting run over by a car
In the words of Big Chris in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. “There is one more thing, it’s been emotional”😂

It's an unwritten rule that when it comes to after-sales shipping cost, that each party just eats the cost or split it if you both agree.
It's a hobby after all. And with reps and rep parts you never really know if it all is gonna fit. You assume the risk as well as any small shipping cost that goes with it.

I was wondering about this.
