It’s been said before, but I’ll say it again.

This is a watch forum that happens to have a sales section, not a watch sales platform.

The solution is to tone down your sense of entitlement, and go sell somewhere else if you don’t have the patience to wait.

When it takes this long people will choose other places to advertise.

IMHO people who can't wait more than 24h to advertise are welcome to advertise elsewhere. If you're in a rush with your sale already at the moment you're posting your listing, I don't want to be your buyer.

This being said, I've just posted a listing - let's see if it gets approved before yours ::stirthepot::

What's with the drama? I came with input and now you're jumping me and suggesting I should sell somewhere else... And reading between the lines I'm somewhat rushing sales and that makes me a non solid seller or what?

Hilarious!

I've sold what, 700 watches last 10years and I don't have one complain.. I would say that you absolutely would want to buy something from me since I take full responsibility no matter what.

If you don't want opinions and input, remove the thread? Thought members opinions counted...

You wrote "it can't be" instead of, for example, "I'd love to". Maybe you should also reconsider the way you bring up your opinion...

Since English isn't my native language there are probably times where something might mean this comes out like that if you understand what I mean.

There wasn't a thought of being rude from my side, I was just bringing a thought to life that there probably should be more admins if it takes days to approve an ad. I mean if you have two watches for sale you don't want to wait a week to have them published right? With more admins less pressure and more spare time, easy!

I think this has already been discussed before, when we talked about 1 post per 24h in the private sales section. If you want to post more, go to the dealers section and have fun. 😉

Well I would agree in some way, I inherited a couple of hundred watches and because of that my interest quickly escalated. It was the first 3-4 years the volume was kind a high, these days I probably sell 25-40 peices a year, need to sell to buy something new...

Of 91 posts originated by @donkii nearly all of them are sales posts.

No wonder he’s antsy that the only type of posts he makes aren’t getting approved. 😗

In 6 years I've started 91 threads and yeah most of them are sales? 15 per year.. Wow..

Nice to see the mentality of the forum.. Let's all dig in and try to find as much as possible to be negative about.

My point being that you’re only here to sell.

You want a place to sell, for free, at demand... without contributing... and you’re all antsy because your sales posts don’t get approved fast enough for your liking.

Good good.

Bought something off you once, no foul from me.

Being a Mod is unpaid and there time is probably on other things now like most of us.

The more members here the more work for them. This isn’t the sleepy couple of thousand it was years ago. @S3amaster joined yesterday and was the 67279th member.

So how many FS adds were posted yesterday ?? 50- 60 ?
Also it’s not about putting more mods on just for FS listings. if it’s unpaid work and it’s not just a tick and flick yes or no job.

Oh good to know. As you so nicely pointed out, there are more to life then watches. My contribution here on OF has been much less compared to before I got my kid. I think I have around 60,000 posts on different forums combined and since 1,5-2 years back I've bought a house, become a father, started a construction business and works part time at a car dealership. Ive been contributing in another way earlier since I had a lot more time to spend and I'm sorry for not making a thread about it so y'all could have read it earlier.. I would like to be more active but with all that mentioned above time isnt enough?

But its sad to read that that you all starts to think bad of me just for posting that I belive that it would be positive for the forum to quicken up the approving of ads in the sales section.

I understand and I know exactly how it is. We had the same problem in our forum and we ended up with increasing the mods which actually made a big big difference.

I think many users would take the opportunity to take some responsibility if asked. But of course there would have to be users that could handle people...

Look at things from the perspective of those of us that see two things:

1 - You using the forum as place to sell watches, and nothing else.

2 - You putting up a post that complained about sales posts not getting approved fast enough.

All else aside, can you see why you might have not got the reaction you hoped for?

1. That's your truth.
I might at this time more or less only use it for selling a couple of watches. I'm cross posting on this forum and on a national one and I actually belive that that's a way of contributing and bring value to a forum.
But with that said, where do we draw the line for contributing and not? Does nothing of the threads posted earlier mean something? Do they count for a year before I need to start another one to have the rights to advertise as everyone else?

2. Your truth again.
I firmly belive that there would be a positive thing to have a quicker response to the ads section. And since I've been using the sales section for 6 years, posting 12-15 ads a year, I've noticed that the handling time has been less quick and that's what my input was about.

Would be wierd to comment and giving input on some thing I'm not using.

I feel that you're jumping the trigger... Totally unnecessary.



Edit:
I just had to look into the threads you've published, we clearly have different perspective regarding contribution. A thread with two lines and a picture, or wanting likes for a newly bought watch without telling the story or history behind the watch.. Can honestly say a value a sales post higher when people have taken time to present the watch with a little history together with nice pictures and such, it's hours behind many of the sales post compared to many of your own threads.

We all contribute and add value in different ways, and we all put value in different things.
Reading between the lines you obviously value yourself and your legacy here higher, its ok, but I can't say that I agree when digging in to the history of your own threads.

So with that, let's end it here and hopefully something good will come out of this

Let me briefly jump in for assistance since you don't want to understand the point. It is just the other way around. You created 20 threads in 6 years that are not sales related. 3,3 per year or one every four months..wow. And this is just the quantitative assessment.

So with that, let's end it here and hopefully something good will come out of this.

Just to weigh in with another voice, I too am pretty annoyed with the time it takes for approval in the FS subforum for reason I've outlined earlier.

If the issue got "fixed" I'd be happy, but if it doesn't I won't post less here, it would just make me enjoy the sales process more. I feel that my sales posts here ad value to the forum as a whole (especially since the content stays on here forever and acts a reference point for future research), but feel that my contributions in other subfora are more valuable 😀
