What prompted this post shouldn't be difficult to guess, but—what do we think about critical comments on members' watch sales posts? I don't mean gently pointing out that a watch that's been serviced or has the current owner's hair stuck in the crown should not be described as mint or some such, but rather opining on aesthetic considerations, pointing out things they don't like about it, etc.? Are we all cool with that? I'm not in the habit (I don't think) of voicing every opinion that flits through my head, especially if it denigrates any specific person's taste. It seems like bad form to nitpick a sales post, especially when the numerous photos should be more than enough to let viewers form their own judgment. Am I in the minority here?
I agree, but who cares! Haters are going to hate and some people have way too much time on their hands. They spend so much time criticizing others, when they should be focused on themselves!
As an inexperienced collector I would be grateful for comments in sales posts that point out misdescriptions or omissions of crucial information where necessary.
You’re free to invite public comments to your own sales posts.
I’ve done this in my sales posts at least once if not a few times.
An aside to the point of this thread but:

However, absent an invite…
