          IMHO, stating Mint is much better way than giving it a %. I have seen ppl rating their products at 78%, 92%, etc. How do they gauge?

            Let me share my sales tactics.
            Last call 1K,got confirmed buyer at $900,why waste time but hopefully can sell at $950,why not.

            Withdraw sales soon,why waste time if trade offer sounds good but hopefully can sell $50 more.

            Updating my sales, this want very hard for me to give up but soon i will throw away.

                      Thanks for bringing this up for awareness. Good read and a better definition for the word mint to be use in the forum. Sellers should at least read this before using the word mint to better define the condition of their watches on sale.

                          Not at all. Just to entertain myself and some others.

                            Well said. bro Pegasi. It is probably a sensitive topic for many sellers. It is educational for me because I am not a seller - I keep whatever I buy, and when I don't use it anymore, I give it away. (Not sure about my slightly more expensive watches, though...so far only giving away Seikos, lol)

                                Yes sensitive topic for many sellers. Is like walking into a shopping mall, telling everyone, the sales tactics that don’t work on me here. What happen after that, shopper all run away, maybe shop close down, maybe shopper looking for other shopping mall, nothing to shop around here, why hang around. Not all foods stalls nice to eat, why channel 5 recommend nice place to eat, why not so nice don't show, because people need rice bowl to survive. sales tactics that don't work on you that's fine but why need to go public. Too loud
