How do I sell my replica watch collection on here?

OP . . . let me suggest you join Reddit and post your watches for sale there. Reddit has a huge community and the "quality" of watches you are wanting to rid yourself of is most certainly a better fit for many potential buyers over there. Here at RWI most of us are a bunch of nit-picking nerds who will inspect replicas and Franken watches with other eyes than Joe Average who just wants a cheap fake. Had you stuck around for a while first before posting, you'd have found out that some members here post Franken watches costing many thousand dollars, and they still are not 1/1 like yours.

Hi all, I am an individual based in the UK. I am not a commercial enterprise. I merely asked where I could pass on my 4 replica watches which are supposedly Swiss movement 1/1 quality. I was only asking so I can move these on as I do not wear them due to the attention they bring. Thank you for the constructive comments, to those conspiracy theorists and those who seem to think they are in some sort of cabal please do not be so quick to judge innocent requests for help. It does not create a welcoming forum for anyone wishing to get involved in this hobby. I simply posted for help and advice with moving something I no longer wish to keep.
Fair enough. Now you know that this place is probably not the place you're looking for.

Don’t take the skepticism to your heart. It's nothing personal! It's just based on dozens of instances of irregular sales that have to be nuked every week of non-eligible sellers... and folks are just frustrated, if not outright pissed. Because often those sellers will react super aggressively with extreme name calling. So there is some tension that of course you can’t know about...

And btw. your reps have 100% no swiss movements, believe us. Unless they were modified. I have a rep with a real Swiss ETA movement, but it was modified for $200+ with a movement swap where the Chinese movement was replaced with it's real sister from Europe. 😉

Thank you for providing confirmation of my disquietude. The reason I no longer wish to own these watches is because they are worn by people who cannot afford the real thing but want to derive a sense of superiority with their ownership, something which has been clearly demonstrated here. Congratulations on your choice of self defining arrogance. I wish you well, please do continue to be unwelcoming, unhelpful, contrite and self congratulatory but excuse me as I have a life to go back to. 😭😭😭😭
My friend, this is one of the saddest displays of projection I have seen this year. Just because you bought reps for that particular pathetic reason, it doesn't mean everyone else does too.

If you knew the value of all gens owned in this community, you would instantly pass out (possibly from a potentially fatal heart attack or massive stroke). And that only includes staff and a few established veteran members. We have folks with 7 figure collections. Nobody I know here needs a rep to feel a "sense of superiority", trust me when I tell you this. 😂 It's sad that YOU do, but that's not really OUR fault, is it? 😆

Hi, welcome

Given the fact we’ve had a quite a few scammers sign up just to pass off watch sales, we are cautious with new members.

Joining a forum, with the intent to sell, and not search for the answers to questions you posted, not doing research on the items with no intent to research what you are selling is a red flag due to the lazyness.

Everyone here mostly is very nice, straight forward and welcoming- but things like this are things you’d see on Reddit.

This is a safe community unlike Reddit.
All of the responses are warranted, and if you can’t understand why- this is not the place for you.

What you should have done- join, introduce yourself - read the rules, learn them, search read and post for alittle- do your research- know the items your selling know their value- know the quality and know what to ask for them. Sell 1 at a time - after selling the first one both buyer and seller post feedback for the transaction- then sell the second and so on, decide if you want to become a supporter, I did it’s a personal choice- I want to give back to this free community which has helped me learn so much and save money not get ripped off and be safe.

If your not willing to do the above that’s fine- no judgement- however this is not the place for you- just a selling platform for you to dump or watch’s or maybe not even send them out or misrepresent them. I would suggest joining Reddit or Facebook marketplace to strictly just sell them.

I do hope you read and consider what I’m saying a decide to stay here and learn, but I also hope you learn from this and change your views, and examine your behavior and how it’s lead to this conversation and why, on a personal level it took me a long time to grow as a person, the only way I was able to do that was to examine what my behavior in any issue caused and how I was involved.
