Hi raji, I don't know what kind of discussion this thread has descended into but interesting response. The talk about photo tags was while I was drunk the other night, but I do stick by what I said, and it wasn't aimed at the requirement to put tags on sales (as is a good habit) or heavy handedness by mods etc, moreso it is aimed at the expectations that buyers have with sales these days are a little out of sync with how they should be for 2nd hand reps. I'll try clarify. I noticed a few sales threads on rwg.cc recently where posters commented on no tagged pics and kicked up a storm, only to be told tagged pics aren't a requirement on there, even had one guy say 'read the rules'
only to be told by a mod over there, there are no tagging rules. Which was met by disbelief. It just shows how expectations have gone up in rep sales.Anyway no biggy, what I was getting at is that lately with increases in scams and buyers thinking paypal is a try before you buy arrangement, also plenty of sellers not disclosing enough detail, marking stuff up, buyers pricing things up as if they are selling the watch, having huge expectations about how much coverage they deserve (a full refund on a 2nd hand watch if it stops working a week later or after they drop it for instance?) Sellers declaring gen bought springbars on the watch turns it into a franken
. Also this thread asking silly things like give out phone numbers now it seems people need to get back to reality a bit and use a bit more buy the seller, vet the buyer type process. There seems to be huge expectations at times and also a bit too much sense of entitlement. Some people think they are buying on amazon rather than used reps. Not saying all buyers/sellers are like that, there are plenty of good guys, it does seem the number of chancers is increasing, it's not an RWI thing either, it's happening on all the rep forums. I liked sub4mes post the other day giving his seller rules about what to expect during the sale, he was spot on. Best post I read in ages.
