You must lead a very, very sheltered life.

I thought that we didn't sink to entertaining idiots and name calling here, that's for the lounge!

I am quite astounded that I am called a troll on here by someone who obviously feels it normal to call someone stupid, when they have never met them or even spoke to them.

Why am I going to make up the figures, do you really think I need to try justrify myself to someone like you?

OP - I know it is an internet forum - and part of it's existence is to help other people.
But - at least try making an effort - people will be more inclined to give you favourable response.

I think it is a case of the populous feeling that :


1. You are just being lazy.
It is a very popular watch.
And the answer is a couple of google clicks away.


2. Free Advert.
This site is littered with Uncle Tom Cobly and all - trying to avoid paying fees to advertise something on this site.
".....I'm thinking of selling.... but I would like to get an idea what to sell it for...." to then entice someone to make an offer.
Hang around General Gassing for a few days - you will spot them.


3. You could have phrased the question thus..
HI... I'm looking for some advice.
I bought this in 20xx for £xxx I'm thinking on selling it before the end of the year - as I want to buy this watch in the January sales...
I see that shop A is selling similar for £xxxx. If I want a quick private sale would £zzzz be realistic?


It isn't about what you are asking - it is how you are going about asking for it.

Nice watch, I have one as a beater, pretty sure you could pick these up new from the Bicester outlet for about £900 a couple of years ago so you did pretty well with it on Ebay.

OK that is fair enough maybe I could have gone about it a different way but I didn't - no trolling reason - that was just how I posted it -
I genuinely thought this forum had people in it who bought and sold watches so would have been able to come back to me with a price - I was offered £400 by a company which I thought was low. What I paid for it, or what someone has offered me should have no bearing on what the general re sale value of this watch is.

Anyway i'm ouuut of here

What a lovely part of the forum. I really must pop in here more often. Some real characters in here.
