Suggestion : Garage Sections

[winzchee]

Feel that private dealers should conform to the rules for selling too:
Rules:
- All postings must include a price for each piece listed within.
- Do not post links to auctions.
- No Advertising of company brand, website, etc in the open forums.

Quite frustrating to see an item for sale, without price.

Yo totally agreed with bro lolex kia. Quite frustrating if price not included as most of us does not know what price seller willing to sell or how to start the price going. Offer too low, might be misunderstood for lowballing. Best Regards & Cheers!!!

hehehe..nothing wrong with low balling...imho...every buyer like to have the lowest purchase price and every seller wan to sell as high as possible...aniwae sellers reserved not to sell de mah..hahaha

RE: Private Dealers' Mkt

Hi Admin/Owners/Mods,

Just a suggestion -
for dealers sub-forum, would it be possible for dealers to list all their watches on one FS thread instead? And not a separate thread for each watch the dealer is selling?

Ender

Hey ender,

Thanks for your suggestion. But if we have 1 dealer per thread, it's gonna be pretty long winded for his thread if he keeps updating. It's harder for members to view and harder for us to remove old threads.

We would consider your suggestion! Thanks

[louisoh]

Tks for the feedback... as per wat Darkie replied... its quite impossible if each seller has a thread...

BUT then again, if there are sufficient dealers who are interested, we can have them post their watches in their own category instead... Will look into that!

State price in WTB

Hi moderators,

I see that a seller is required to state the price of a watch/item he/she is selling in the sales thread, and wonder if this rule can be imposed on the "WTB" thread as well.

Why?

Eg. Buyer posts a watch to buy w/o price stated. An interested seller pm'ed buyer of the same watch to sell. Buyer starts asking for pics and information on the watch. Seller agrees and sends all information requested by buyer. Buyer sees everything, then tells seller price is too high, and other unpleasant comments like "I can find one exactly same at much lower price", blah-blah-blah..

If a price, or even price range (eg. $3k-$3.5k) is stated in the buyer's post, then anyone who wishes to make an offer to the buyer will be well aware before he/she decides to make an offer.

I feel that this is a similar philosophy to the rule imposed on the sales thread, where a seller will need to state price to sell.

Tx!

My observation

I often see some watches on sale in "WTS" thread similar to those in "WTB" thread, and wonder why the buyers did not approach the sellers? And the next thing that came to my mind would be, "likely price was not met". Then why not buyers state a price (or range) in the first place?

Some recent egs. here:

No price stated by buyer

This is a good eg. to follow:

Price is stated so potential seller's expectation is managed. So when a seller wishes to approach this buyer, he/she should make an offer close to the asking price.

i agree with him it's better to post the stated price. but of cause not too low like let's say for example the watch is currently going at 10k and u try to offer 7k. lol i suppose nobody will bother to reply the thread. haha.

Yes. Managing expectations is what I mean. If the price quoted is "out-of-this-world" figure, then it is visibly obvious that it may be a prank or something mischievous. Then no one will respond, right?

Let's see how the moderators view this.

[ErnieH.]

If Sellers do not have to post pictures of what they are selling then why do buyers have to post a price for wha tthey want to buy?

What is good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

for want to sell and want to buy, it is different context.

honestly, i will post in WTB after i have used the SEARCH function to locate the watch i am interested in, only if i cant find it there, then would i post. if a buyer states want to buy a BNIB sub for 5k, we all know that it is near impossible unless the seller is desperate if there is one.

stating a price does not requires significantly more effort compared to taking a picture. why? because it is just input additional text. some will say can use camera phone to take. but if the picture is not clear, i see no difference in posting one and without.

[Oceanklassik]

Misunderstood?

Sorry if I have caused any misunderstanding. I am not talking about pics here. I am referring to stating a price in "WTB" thread, similar to a requirement that a price has to be stated in "WTS" thread.

With/without pics is fine (to me) in the "WTB" thread but I feel that at least, a TS (buyer) should name a price he/she is willing to buy a watch/item.

Tx!
