Selling in M2M - annoying buyers

[Mike116]

For a TC, I wonder why you even bothered.
These things fly

Yea true but not so much when he was still active. You try and do the right thing as a seller but there's always the self entitled who think the world revolves around them and forget that these watches and parts are replica. I haven't sold anything here for a few years now but did have about 30 odd transactions in the past. I've been burnt 3 times and it hurt more on a personal level than usually small amounts of money lost

I was once selling a VW Eos, for those that are unfamiliar, its a hard top convertible.
Had this bellend come round with his wife and was checking it out with a magnifying glass.
By the way the car was an absolute beauty with low milage and I was asking a sensible price for it.
After an hour of looking round the car and going for a 20 minute test drive he come back and proceeds to ask his wife to put up the roof... then down.... then up.... then down.... i'm not kidding he does this at least ten times,
I say " The roof is perfect, no problems at all" , he says "just one more time"
Then he tells me he'll think about it and that was the last time I saw him! Fucking Moron! Still gets my blood going!

I have had very positive experiences when buying watches. I pay immediately and wait till they arrive. This forum should be a positive place where we all have a common interest, anyone not fitting in should be removed

I re-named him

This is exactly why I go outta my way NOT to sell stuff these days, I'd sooner re purpose, bin or simply gift whatever to someone who deserves it.

I solved the selling problem for myself. I never sell any of my watches When I die will leave all my watches to some lucky member or members of RWI in USA. I can't leave my 100 plus collection and expect my bride to be able to ship them outside the USA. Imagine the Customs nightmare.

Remember to put down "$5" in value and "gift" on the clearance form, everybody will remember you especially members in the EU.

I hate annoying prospective buyers too! Especially the ones speaks a lot and ask non sense questions. I think some people ate stupid by their nature

I like your idea of gifting.

Putting a watch for sale is for me an uneasy experience, I want everything to be right and I probably shake at least as much as the final buyer until the watch reaches him and he's happy with it.
Another bothering aspect is annoying prospective buyers. The insecure, the lazy, the brazen, self-entitled folk who think they're buying on amazon or who simply think they're smarter than everyone else. I'll start off with a couple of examples and hope you can share your experiences as well, so maybe some of those buyers will read this and learn a bit about "buying etiquette".

Those who...
You put a watch for sale for, say 630$, shipping included. You even post "open to reasonable offers". You receive a PM: "I'm taking it for 500 now". You either ignore the buyer or answer "what did you drink?" or even "F*** off". The prospective buyer reports you for being "rude".

Those who....
You put a ZF 15500 for sale. You receive a PM: "What's the difference between ZF and APSF of this model? Which one is more gen-like in terms of dial color? How is the quality of the case finishing? Will someone recognize it's a fake watch?".

Those who...
You sell a diving watch. Buyer receives it and sends you a PM: "The watch doesn't work! It will only run for a couple of hours and the small wheel can't be pulled, it's stuck!". You answer: "Did you perchance unscrew the SCREW-DOWN crown?". Answer: "The what?"

Please share your experiences, I'm sure there's more annoying and hilarious anecdotes to tell.

Hi, @Feefo . I have a particular appreciation for you and certainly not because we are both Italian . I’m in fully accord with you except about first point . I permit to submit to your attention the fact, in this forum, there are a lots of advices from estimated admins to buy ONLY by PayPal G&S paying the seller’s commission . Beh, allowing this advice at today, i could not buy anything from anyone . Now, i can understand that if the seller makes many sales ( for reasons like taxes … because PP is detachable almost in Italy, and other problems correlated ) it is completely comprehensible but, in my modest and laughable opinion, no one likes to left money . In my case, not much about THE MONEY, but about the fact someone has f….d myself . But it is only my opinion then, looking at your position in this forum and your feedbacks, I’d buy from you with PP f&f too . This is sure . But, almost on twenty watches I wished to buy at full price from people haven’t your position, the results I have received are only mocking comments to my offers by PP G&S with paying commission . So, if this excellent forum says you to pay only by PP G&S not certainly by a celebrated member as you are, I pray you to explain me what is the right way . With all my respect and friendship. Greetings from Italy ,

. But, almost on twenty watches I wished to buy at full price from people haven’t your position, the results I have received are only mocking comments to my offers by PP G&S with paying commission . So, if this excellent forum says you to pay only by PP G&S,

Most if not all members prefer to accept PP F&F instead of G&S (also other forms of payment) because with F&F there is not any chance of a chargeback after the person receives the watch. If the buyer does a chargeback and it goes through then the seller loses the funds plus the watch they have sent. So I hope you can understand why the sellers are hesitant or refuse PP G&S and prefer PP F&F.

Newer members like yourself might find it a little harder to purchase on M2M if the sellers don't know who you are with no purchase history, they also might only sell to Supporters, Patrons and Certified members.

I understand . Asap I ‘ll become a Patriot . Just a bit of confirmations to my thoughts . BUT IN THIS FORUM IS AN ADVICE, BIG AS HOUSE, TO BUY ONLY BY PP G&S WITH MY COMMISSION . SOMEONE IMPORTANT HERE, PLEASE, TELLS ME THE REASON OF THIS ADVICE . THANKS, MEMBER .

 

[Ralphista]

Then i asked for @Feefo. Not for you . Thanks and have a nice day .
