One more thing I think I will add is that people here have a long memory and we all talk to each other behind the scenes. If you have been a dick to someone or have pulled some shady shit elsewhere, we will find out about it. Your rep is everything here.

Applies to buyers as well. 馃榿 Sellers choose who they want to sell to.

All good advice above- not much more to say other than 4 long-winded paragraphs of re-worded fluff

FIFY 馃榿

This is one of the reasons that this is the safest place to sell.

This is very true. There is strong interest in certain brands, and much less so in others. Also, many members here have mature collections, so they are mainly looking for very special pieces or bargains (yes, me too ... guilty as charged). Pricing your watch appropriately is important, but sometimes it just isn't the right place to sell, and you can do better elsewhere.

Just in the past year, Instagram has become a viable alternative for me, maybe my posts there finally started to reach a critical mass.

I have had a good luck with a few sellers from here over on IG -- offering things there they haven't gotten around to posting here, or just a quick conversation. I grabbed 1 watch from Moc, and then we talk on IG all the time like real friends dare I say and I buy project shit from him all the time as well. When enough OF members are listed as following, I usually know what I'm in for.

Apparently, I need to hunt down Dan's IG as well! lol

Yes, this right here. Those ebay deals "gone south and relisted" ... we see them.
