Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

Re: FS: Breitling - rare bird - not rare enough? - ok, here

: Why not simplify things and state an asking price ?

: Its a guessing game otherwise and buyers instinct is going to be to
: try for a favourable deal of course. ;-)

Steve, because it needs a lot of pictures and a description and detailed information
(specially for a watch like this), that i give to all interested people and now i have a lot
of friendly and constructive conversation from interested collectors and it is my work to do this
- so please accept this way i handle it.

what i noticed is, that i have a lot of work, but friendly communication (thx for this).

i tried it in the other way and have only these cryptic answers like

"i pay you..."

"if there is no other bid, i pay you..."

...

i often see here offers with one pictures, a few words and the price (you miss)
or the question for offers

what should be so much better in this way?

it needs no answer
