Selling of watches in "Private Garage and Sales"

[teo]

I noticed that people like to give comment to the watch when it is posted for selling. Like the price shouldn't be this much should be that much. Do you all like the same thing happen to you when you wnt to sell your time piece. Sorry I just say what I think, if i were to offend anyone. CHEERS.

That is the beauty and the beast of an online forum.

The market should be a free place where one should be allowed to freely express his/her opinions. Obviously if a watch is going for a good price that the market is willing to accept, it will be snapped up.

Sometimes a piece may not be so well regarded or known in Singapore but going at a good price, then a little bit of a discussion would help generate the interest.

Other times, it may be that the price posted is unrealistic and the seller doesnt know. Then again some discussion would assist in enlightening the seller to revise his/her own price.

There may also be times when there are newbies that come into a forum in the hope of tapping into the collective knowledge, which may unsuspectingly purchase a watch for a ridiculous price, trusting that such things would have been pointed out...

Finally, comments serve as a free bump...

The magic of an open forum is that it is self censoring, and it is often clear to all what ones intentions are when it comes to posts.

Agree...sometimes if the prices are abit ridiculous we have to tell him,otherwise he would never sell his watch 1. In that case,I put up my Rolex SS DJ for 10k...anyone wanna buy?

A forum is a place for members to voice their opinions/view/comments/suggestions freely. Of course, the content got to be appropriate, fair, relevant and correct. Thus, I see nothing wrong with commenting on selling prices of pre-owned timepieces.

If indeed the seller is so affected by such comments, then he/she should try selling it in online auctions or direct to dealers, and not in a forum. As for myself, if I do have a chance to sell anything in this forum, I sincerely welcome your constructive and fair remarks.

Cheers

I think that most of us frequent watch forums for the general objective of being better informed be it in acquiring that dream watch or just for the goal of learning new things. Any info especially those found in For Sale forum that opined on prices would serve that purpose particularly for the potential buyer to make a better informed decision. Of course, it shouldn't be done with malice and ultimately it is the judgement of the buyer that still matters. Juz my 2 cents anyway.
