    You need 200 posts to post in sales forums. Please take the time to read the stickies at the top of each forum. Your answer for this question will be in the Security for Sales Forums thread.

    You can find out by taking some time and reading the rules. There's a lot to learn here. And not just about the rules.

    Eric must have been arrested for speeding and thrown into a cell with no internet.

    It's uncommon for a question to be asked and answered already in the thread's title. :rolleyes:

    It's because you're a total newbie that you can't post watch for sale.

    Selling here on Omega Forums requires that you be a total non-newbie with 200 posts, or alternatively, that you gain permission for early entry from the moderators by presenting your bona fides.

    p.s. If it's a really nice watch, and you're selling it dirt cheap, shoot me a pm. ::stirthepot::

    Hello Howard. Nice to see you on the forum.
    Omega Forums is not an auction site. It's a forum for collectors and people who have a special interest in Omega watches. Fortunately for us, It also has a sales and wanted section. The membership includes expert Horologists who can assist those of us who aren't. We can eves drop on their analysis and learn. It also means that anything that is placed on the sales forum is on view to those experts.

    Good place to buy or sell a watch but 'ya gotta pay ya dues' first! By the time you get to 200 posts you ought to be better informed to sell your watch in the best condition and for the right price. I thought the same as you when I joined but then found it works well and is in my best interest. If I could have advertised my watch straight away, I would have taken £50 for my vintage 1960's Speedmaster.:rolleyes:

    If you study the reply to questions on watches you will get to know how to spot dodgy stuff that is offered on some other Internet sales sites. As you can see from my name I know very little about watches. Fortunately, by reading and taking advice on board, I learned that my mid 60's, brown dial, Speedmaster is worth more than £50!

    Give it time and you'll see that It ain't broke and don't need fixing! Oh and by the way. You've helped me add another post toward 200.
    168 now!... Cheers!;)

    Be careful, as many have come here to sell a watch and ended up buying several......

    So really the forum is doing the newbies a favor by saving them thousands from this affliction if their interest peters out before 200 posts. ;) I'm afraid I started my slide a while ago and it's much too late to stop now.

    Are you on bail or did you just get your internet privileges?

    Man, I was asleep at the wheel; that could have been a spectacular train wreck. Unfortunately, @nonuffinkbloke had to take the high road and left no meat on the bone.
