Yes, I understand that is a possible issue.
But this doesn't just protect the members here, but also the people trying to sell, as not all are dealers trying to subvert the rules. Some just have a nice family watch, have no idea what it's worth, and could get lowballed by people. This is why we see people warning those with nice watches in threads here to do their research and not take too little or the first offer.
I'm not hopeful that a rule like this would come to pass. There are several members here who do PM people who post watches here and buy them, and have admitted it openly. They would have a bit to loose if a rule lie this came to pass. Really if they stopped buying, it wouldn't be such a problem, but money rules.
