    A question that I keep bumping into and so I decided just to ask. On OF, what is the difference between the forum "Watches for Sale" and "Private Watch Sales"?

    Any help is much appreciated.

    One shows in the new posts feed and you can only post one a day. The other is dealers.

    Watches for Sale = Dealers
    Private Watch Sales = as it says.

    This would not be the first time that I have been wrong.:D

    Actually no... dealers and private sellers can post in either. Bumping and posting rules means dealers tend not to use private. Some private sellers unloading more then one piece use the other sometimes.

    Watches for Sale = nice watches for sale
    Private Watch Sales = really nice watches for sale (some exceptions apply)

    Actually no... while dealers technically can post on private sales, we strongly discourage it and if we notice, get complaints or we are just feeling grouchy that day, we tell them to knock it off. (another thing for Eric to monitor :D}
