Did I say I disapprove of dealers or dealer pricing? There indeed a logic to the dealer market, they work to serve people who have no time or expertise or connections.
No, what I found disgusting was the dealer free riding on a forum community— buying cheap from a forum member and then availing himself of the forum facility to try and sell to another forum member.
That was what I find disgusting.
So to sum:
1) Stalking the forums/IG for posts on target watches and then nagging OF Members via PM to sell their watches for an insulting price?
2) Flipping said watches for higher prices here?
3) Hacking the limited edition ordering process and bragging about it?
Correct?
Where has anyone involved in this thread said he offered insulting prices?
If a mod can ask list price + 50% for a new watch, what is wrong with nima making a profit?
The hypocrisy in some of the replies here makes me want to 🤮
I'd like to add something also, it has been assumed in this thread a few times he was a scammer and was weeded out. He's never scammed anyone I know of, and has always been up front and honest with me. I have not bought anything from him yet, and only know him through a few PM's he has sent me about watches he has had for sale. For those of you who feel his prices are high, move on and keep looking. You can always ask him for a better price, that still costs nothing... Just my 2 cents....

@dennisthemenace ...Like you I am merely trying to ascertain the crime committed here by nima. Reading between the lines on the insulting prices thing. So I took a shot at summing it all up. Still not sure what he did wrong except being a burr under the collective saddle.

As has been gently pointed out in the past.......
This Fora, is not a Democracy
It is a very, very benign Dictatorship........With no membership fees to pay, & no responsibility......
This Forum exists by the good, & kind grace of the Owners, and Moderators, who strive quietly to maintain some discipline and a 'safe area' for Members to transact
They do not have to justify their actions to anyone,..... but often do
As a Member since 2012.....I have in the past, privately asked why someone has joined to 'Ranks of the Departed'........ And the valid reasons behind their ejection, have been courteously addressed by a Moderator....I always, subsequently agreed with the judgement
Perhaps you should reflect on suggesting there is widespread ''hypocrisy'....and possibly withdraw that remark ?
If one finds any Forum distasteful, or inadequate to your personal standards.......There is always the option to go elsewhere ?
So you have never made a profit on any watch, or anything else for that matter, you have sold.
The only thing I find distasteful in this thread along with the hypocrisy is your self-righteousness.
), is that this arena has rules & standards
The guy sounded like an asshat. To keep the forum friendly it is better if it isn't preyed upon and exploited by leeches. Good riddance
Shall I get off the fence and tell you how I really feel?
Or you can read the whole thread and see he's not banned......

The very first post says he is. “We’ve had to remove both of his accounts”
