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...]

No, you have it all wrong (respectfully) buddy.
The ones to look out for are not the ones that do not post a tagged image as even if you own the watch, if you have criminal intent you can obtain pics and regardless how many pics you post, you would still commit the crime given the chance. So best to not hand your cash unless you have a way of getting it back. I would recommend paying via paypal, that way should something go wrong, your ass is covered! As far as all of the detectives requesting tagged images and expressing judgement based on that goes, it is a waste of time and you are probably on the wrong side of the law as slander is a criminal offence and if proven, punished by law. I would be very weary of "Francis Drakes's" continuosly changing email address but playing Lieutenant Kojak. I would ask myself why his posts are aimed at identifying scammers. I presume that it is a ploy at building this great reputation founded on calling others crooks perhaps. There are scammers out there. However, dont loose sight of the ones that may have infiltrated
the forum!
