Forum etiquette question

Hello forum members. I'm new to the site and am enjoying all the information that's shared. This is a great place to learn and the overall theme of helping each other and transparency is fantastic.

As a new member I do have a question. What is the etiquette for seeking feedback / advice regarding postings in the For Sale forum on this site? I did some searching but was unable to find any threads that addressed this.

There's a lot of good feedback regarding eBay auctions as well as feedback regarding sellers on this site. However there are listings from newer members where no feedback exists. Would you guys approach those listings in a similar fashion as an eBay listing?

Cheers,
Michael

If you want to ask questions about specific "for sale" watches, the best thing to do is to send a pm to one of the mods. If they don't know, they will either point you in the direction of a member who will know or invite that person to join in your "conversation". This avoids all-out slanging matches if something is amiss with a particular watch.

Thank you for the reply DLT222, it's much appreciated. I ask as someone who would be a prospective buyer (possibly now or in the future) and wasn't sure if it would be frowned upon to ask the members to vet a watch and/or seller listed here. I wouldn't think so, but felt it was best to ask.

One thing I've learned here is to be patient and buy a quality example of a piece you want. Having the opinion of the forum weighing in is a tremendous help.

Thanks again.

And I'll work on my avatar 😀

Thanks Stewart H, this is helpful. That's exactly what I'm hoping to avoid.
