Re: ATT- THIS SELLER SOLD THIS WATCH TO 5/6 PEOPLE !!!!!

Dear Members

weird post by Joachim, who wrote email after email in very short time gaps to get the watch and when I told him he can have it, what price we are talking about and how to proceed, no answer for about a day. Sorry Joachim but if you don t have time to communicate and/or payment, no deal is possible. Most of the people here are working hard and short on time. First seller from Portugal after offering a certain sum, first talked the watch down and then asked for the best price. Not with me Buddy. The American guy told me he will take it for sure
and pay via PayPal than asking questions for days, finally backing out after 5 days.

Already tired of this strange and annoying potential sellers I offered the watch to three reputable and wide known potential buyers informing each of them, that watch is offered to two more people. Sold it in a Flash and got the money weithin 3 hours.

So strange times in watch buying and selling and it gets more and more annoying. Luckily there are enough really nice people left out there, for whom a word is a word. So offer money only when you are sure you want the watch for the price asked and when you are really willing to pay the sum you offered and then pay and there will not be a problem at all with me. It is not about 500 € less or more, but about staying to your offer and close the deal with a payment. Very easy.

So judge yourself and thanks CT
