Wow, nice comments there @fnfz4 - allow me to boils some of the other member's posts down to this:

Way to be a douche.

If you had simply read the damn sticky about the exception you wouldn't have to post farm nor would you be making rude comments.

 

where was that written? I didnt see that. First, I was able to sell back in 2013 when I first signed up. Stopped selling here because most of the buyers are vintage Omegas and I dont really sell vintage or a lot of Omega anymore. Mostly sell New Rolex and some tradeins from the sources that I supply. wasnt really interested in selling to be honest so I guess I really didnt read it. in any case, this is moot for me.

 

wow... clearly if profanity is allowed in this fora then something is off if this kind of post is tolerated. Before you accuse me or anyone to be farming post it would be nice to first investigate if they are really farming instead of jumping to conclusions and calling people a Douche. way to go! you only succeeded in making yourself look like that lol

 

@fnfz4 - The rules are in a sticky at the very top of the sales forum where they'd most obviously be:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/please-read-new-security-measures-for-the-sales-sections.16994/

If you bothered to look, you would have not only seen that but seen in the post why this new rule was enacted AND how you could get your exception.

...... and don't deny you were trying to make 200 posts quickly. We all know it. We've seen post farming before (and another member NCState is currently doing it too and got called out). On this forum, we handle things directly and bluntly - especially with people trying to pull stunts. Take a look at the sales forum for more evidence of that - try to pass off a redial as original and you WILL get publicly questioned.

ps - I'm not a douche. I'm an asshole and often a dickhead. BIG difference.

 

I read a good deal of the first 30 you did in 30 minutes. Mostly single phrases.

Yes, you're right I did start the signal fires by posting here as it seemed normal to alert the members of the forum. I'm sorry but when someone seems to be in such in a hurry to sell, like you are, it does scare me a little.

In any case, we have told you that your behavior was inappropriate and some members have backed you in saying that you're a good guy. Now please correct your behavior and we will welcome you with open arms. It might take a little longer to sell your watches and soon enough you'll starting posts like this one to warn other members.

Looking forward to reading your improved comments.

Regards,

Jonatan

 

Yeah, well we both know he'll be back. Might not be for several months, and might be as a different screen name, but they ALWAYS come back.

 

It is in one of the stickies at the top of the Private Watch Sales subforum.

BTW, the Private Watches For Sale subforum here exists as something for forum community members to use, and is not intended as a free sales platform. The Watches For Sale subforum may require 200 posts, and not have a waiver. But please note no one has a 'right' to be able to freely sell on a private forum that is owned/ run/ paid for by others. It is pretty typical to need to abide by the rules established by the forum owners. In my experience OF is not unique in their requirements. But they are fairly atypical by not requiring a fee/ % from sellers, especially those who make a living buying/ selling watches. The fact that someone could offer a selling platform for free (vs one having to pay hundreds of dollars/ month for their own site) is a pretty nice thing.

 

Every two weeks (if not more) we go through this. Thread soon to be locked, but no worries because next week another will appear. Like clockwork.

On the bright side, it's been awhile since we have had an uncle thread.

 

Maybe this could be a pre loaded standard answer? Just substitute name and "31" with whatever name and number.

 

So you're upset about rules of the sales forum but you're not interested in using the sales forum?

 

Dear lord, I had a part I needed to sell and it took all of an hour to get with a mod, share feedback from elsewhere and poof. Some people's children.
