      No la.. relax.. a forum is a open place for people to voice their opinions... we are all adults and i'm sure you all agree with me with i say "Willing buyer, willing seller" and vice versa...

        Precisely.. seller will always mark up and sell as high as possible, up to buyer to be alert before buying and to bargain hard. if buyer is lazy (and in this time and age, esp with the internet, not doing your checks, I have to think you are lazy) and kenna chopped, buyer can only blame himself/ herself.

                Correction, 95% chance such buyer is lazy.

                  TS, this is a very good thread. However, this is a timeless cartwheel topic tat will never have an end.

                  my personal opinion of things in the market place section:

                  definition of shady: stolen goods or fakes or 3rd party components that are advertised as genuine. (obviously list is non-exhaustive) but most bros here should get the drift.

                  Buy low & sell high: nothing with that. isn't everyone doing the same everywhere? If the shareprice of a certain financial institution that our gahmen had acquired goes thru the roof in the future, can our gahmen be accused of being shady or even worse, spotting a character flaw? Go figure.

                  On the other hand, I feel that seller has an obligation to be truthful on the origins of the watch to the buyer. If the latter is not comfortable: just walk away.

                  Similarly, if i can buy an "M" SD at $7k and sell it at 8k, that's my capability. Who is to judge me for selling in excess of 1k? On the flipside, does selling the SD at a price of 3.5k make me a good man? If that happens, I think a million brothers here will have a greater propensity to think that either the SD is a fake, faulty or from doubtful origins.

                  Whatever it is, it's up to the buyer to conduct all the necessary checks prior to buying a pre-owned pieces. caveat emptor: may the buyer beware.

                  For me, it's more of buying the seller than the watch. U must exercise yr own judgement.
                  Remnants of my irresponsibility:
                  "Foreign affections"
                  1) Sinn U1-30 June 2007
                  2) Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 M series-23 Jan 08 (HER perpetual oyster )
                  3) Omega Seamaster Chrono Diver 2225.80.00-25 Jul 08 (From Wife )
                  4) IWC Top Gun Chrono-20 Sep 09
                  What's NEXT?

                    So it goes back to the mill again, when u bargain hard, you are labelled lowballer. Goes round and round isn't it? Looks like there's no end

                                If seller asks too high, buyer walks. If buyer lowballs, seller walks.
                                Common pt is, whether you seller or buyer, to know what you are getting. There's no going round and round cause sooner or later either the highballer comes down and/or and the lowballer goes up and there is a mutually agreed price to deal. This is of course, subject to the individual seller and buyer's desire to transact.
