I was accused of post farming when I started. I denied it and I think you all bought it. Today my plan comes to fruition and I am going to flood the FS section with invictas. Yes, I am the official North American Invicta dealer. I love it when a plan comes together.

If I search recent posts from the seller and they’re all crap I may (and should) think twice before sending any money.

There is a member who you could argue post farmed even if his/her responses were somewhat meaningful. Anyway, you could tell by the content this person was very new into being a "watch maker" and now I see this individual selling a lot of parts with questionable authenticity.

I think we’re looking too hard at the privilege to post a for sale ad. I’m sure the post farmer is thinking he’s close to selling that 2007 speedy reduced for $3900 but he may find his farming was for naught. I get that we’re trying to minimize the scammers here but some of that will have to come from some due diligence on the buyer. If I search recent posts from the seller and they’re all crap I may (and should) think twice before sending any money.

To me the issue is not so much the “right to sell” its more about the quality and commitment if the information and interaction on this forum which has a much much much higher quality of members and post content than is averaged elsewhere.

It is not my forum, I’m only a member, so I just have an opinion on this and don’t pretend to manage the situation but there is something really comfortable about how easy going and organic it is to pop into this forum from time to time. It literally does not feel virtual to me as 90% of members are familiar. It also makes me trust sellers and buyers and even just member non related watch issues much more.

I think the post limit keeps sale items quality high (well not all of the time— but its the best watch marketplace I’ve seen). I will probably get there in less than 2 years going at my rate, but at least I will be better informed to sell something on here.

You mean you haven’t already?

Lol how can it be a genuine thread when in the end all I really want IS a WTB thread. How about a "HMF" help me find thread instead ?

;-)

I'm only half joking. My wife isn't into watches but one day she saw a picture of a black tulip and went nuts over it. I've been searching online for months and can't find anything. I did find one but it was in terrible shape...
Well, if your only purpose here is to use the forum members to help you find a watch, then the 200 post minimum is doing it’s job perfectly.

This is a forum for fellow watch enthusiasts to hang out and have mutually beneficial discussions. Buying and selling of watches between strangers is best covered by e-bay, Chrono24, WatchRecon, etc.

I think the 200 post minimum is arbitrary and capricious.

And I should get some credit for using the word capricious, too.
Well, there’s always EBay. Points for the expensive words though 👍

@HS556 is a bit slower but seems interested in the sales forum. @HS556 may we direct your attention to the forum policies requiring 200 meaningful contributions ?
Thanks for your attention to this matter. It will go fast enough if you’re truly interested in engaging.

As a newbie myself, I couldn't post that fast no matter how hard I tried 😉

Amazing dial!!

(oops wrong thread)

I’ll get to 200 one day 😉

Not if I keep reporting your posts as "not in keeping with the spirit of the forum".

😉
