I will take that as confirmation that you have nothing further to add or counter what I have said.
You're not asking anybody here to pay you 10k but the person who can't get it at retail because instead of giving the next guy on the list a chance results him/her to look on the grey market. It's one thing to resell a second time don't post about it here.馃え
There's nothing to add or to counter. You might be fooling yourself, but you aren't fooling people here with what you are doing.
Please enlighten me what or who I'm fooling and what I'm doing? as all I can see is I'm passing on current info. re the market price of a in demand watch.
Look I really don't care if you are selling two of these for profit. It's your watch, so IMO you can do with it what you like. I don't like the idea that this takes away from those who really wanted one at list price, but I realize that this isn't something that's going to stop any time soon the way Omega does things.
But you make it sounds like in the process you are doing some great service to the community, and at the same time have criticized TAZ for selling his watch for profit, and challenged others as to why they didn't offer it to someone on the forum, when you didn't do that yourself.
In your haste to have a pop at me you have overlooked the central point which is TAZ uses the forum to promote and sell his wares and make his profit from forum members, whereas I've sold one watch for a profit to a grey dealer, and there lies the difference, but you knew that anyway.
What can I say, it's a tough world out there, but you could have passed on the offer of your watch to a fellow member, did you?
I didn't overlook it...I know that's the narrative you want to push here. The bottom line is neither of you did the thing you asked of others...
While TAZ certainly offered the watch here, I don't know that we have confirmed that he sold it to a member or not. If you have evidence that he did, let me know...
I don't follow your logic. I have posted the info. as a heads up to anyone who might be wondering what the grey dealers are paying for this watch and I can confirm that I have received correspondence by pm regarding who I sold mine to and how much I received.
I'd be interested to see where I asked TAZ to sell his watch at cost to a forum member, however I do recall pouring scorn on him for seeking a profit from forum members, and whether he sold it here or elsewhere is irrelevant, he tried and that makes all the difference imo.

You asked this of stuart70 today...so why didn't you offer it to a forum member instead of selling it?
Not much daylight between you and TAZ IMO...
You selling it to a dealer makes it impossible twice for the next person on the list to buy it at retail price. You posting the second time will create resentment towards you by those how missed out.
You are taking this out of context, I ask Stuart70 why he didn't offer the watch he passed on to anyone here as he had criticised me for selling to the dealer instead of offering it here at cost, we both had the chance to get the watch and neither ended up on the forum.

He didn't offer it here, but he didn't sell it for a profit either, which means hopefully another collector who truly wanted it was given a chance to own one.
You have now taken 2 out of the system, sold one for a profit, and are apparently selling the second one for a profit as well.
That is the context. You shot back at him asking why he didn't offer it to the forum, when you have failed to do so twice.
Sorry, but I haven't "failed" at anything, I wasn't tasked or requirement to offer the watch here at cost and as you have said yourself it was my property to do with as I like.
Then don't ask why others aren't doing what you have refused to do twice...
This might come as a shock to you, but I won't be about to take orders from you on what I can and can't ask.
