Maybe I am a total sucker, but I just pay the asking price. I only PM if I feel it’s fair. Happens that half of the time the seller proactively gives me a discount
100% this /\ /\ /\, if I'm not happy with the price it often turns out no-one else is either, I watched a ZF SkyDweller for a fair while, then the reductions started, when it got down to my estimate I bought it
If it had sold for full asking or more than I was prepared to pay, another one would have come along.
Easy way to piss me off:
Him: can you send me some more pictures?
Me: If you tell me what exactly you want to see, i will try to make some pictures of that details. (I‘m not very talented with photography)
Him: Yeah, just a few more from all sides to compare with an genuine
- is it waterproofed to swim ?
- maybe interested
- i get this for the same price (or cheaper) from (some random guy) on AliExpress or DHGate

not lolI do not generally sell as I like to keep what I have. But on occasion I've been asked and so I obliged but only reserved sale and with as many photos as possible. I'm probably more worried then the buyer about customs etc. I even say "if you do not like it send it back" but when it lands safely and you see pictures posted here from a happy buyer then I smile as I've made them happy 
Sorry for the soppy shit.. a couple of pints does that

I need to make a thread on annoying sellers or bad selling habits too.
The amount of tickets we get because sellers decide to send watches worth thousands on a simple shipping bubble pouch is getting out of hand.
A small box is easy to find. And if it adds a charge to the shipping, that would make it worth more than having to refund $2 or $3k.

To hear this is excruciating to say the least, we've all got boxes around the house. It's just lazy and disrespectful. If you're one of these people, don't bother selling on M2M. In fact, just take your collection down the local charity shop and be done with it. This hobby ain't for you

I reuse any box I get. It is very unfair not to.
More seriously, I always pack in the donor watch box, a travel pouch or a crystal case, plus add-in my hallmark Pokemon card.
It makes a safer transport and I feel buyers appreciate the small marks of respect. Frankly, none of us here even bat an eye at a 5€ beer…so I don’t understand some members’ stinginess.
Seriously though — I’ve got a few Gucci shipping boxes I just can’t bring myself to throw away. Not the retail boxes or packaging, but the actual shipping boxes — double-layered, thick cardboard with a laminated interior for water resistance. They’re overbuilt in the best way.

I also picked up about 20 plastic boxes from AliX, mainly for sending parts to watchmakers and modders. I even toss an AirTag in there when I ship — just for peace of mind.
Now I know why I have never sold any of my watches. My bride can deal with my collection when I am dead.
I have had two watches turn up in padded jiffy type envelopes with a single wrap of reused bubble wrap around the watch 
....Wnen I get around to selling some of my watches, this isn't going to happen.

Before I started selling M2M, I bought a large industrial sized roll of bubble wrap, cling film, packing peanuts, heavy duty duct tape. It cost $50 total. Boxes are free from USPS Priority Mail. I made the money back on the first watch I sold.
I did my research on how to ship watches. I don't ship large/integrated bracelet watches in small boxes where they can get crushed and break the bracelets. You need some space in the box for "crush" space.
Cheaping out on some packaging on a $300 watch is just stupid. Risking reputation on RWI and potential hassle of being banned over $5 of packing lol.
Rep buyers are some of the cheapest people in the world. I guess we can't be suprised, after all, we are buying reps.

I once received a watch (in a large envelope) wrapped in toilet paper.
Luckily, the watch arrived safely.
P.S. To be fair, I have to say that the watch was NOT purchased on RWI.

To do a „project“ for someone, i received a genuine rolex case , including dial and hands in a bubble envelope lately.
(no tracking, no insurance)
what can i say:
My facial expression the moment i recognized what was in that envelope, speaks volumes

Was it double-ply? Because that should be just fine.wrapped in toilet paper.
i didn't think this could be taken too far, but here we are
Well, with M2M deals, you just never know…i didn't think this could be taken too far, but here we are
That’s exactly why I never buy clothes from anyone other than official retailers — no matter how much the seller swears up and down it’s brand new. Because you just never know.
