Registering on TZ-UK
Discussion
My best advice is to keep trying ... I was unable to register on the forums for awhile, until suddenly one day the site started taking on new members! Unfortunately if a new member posts up unwanted spam, Eddie has a habit of closing off registration for a few weeks/months.
It's a bit of a pain that you need 25/50 posts to access certain areas of the forum though ...

Yeah, I saw that - something I don't get. It strikes me as quantity over quality, and posting for the sake of posting. I guess there's logic behind it. Not one I get.Oh well, never mind. Thanks anyway. I'll stick with PH I guess

So far I've only sold a painting through TZ-UK
Anything decent?
At least that's what's happened to me!I applied before Christmas and got accepted after a day or two.
I was interested in buying a watch but somehow I find it hard to post 50 posts before I can access the sales part.
It's not like PH where you can post 50 posts in a couple of days with there being so many varied subjects and you don't quite run the same risk of saying the wrong thing.

In 2 weeks I have got up to 12 posts. I'm trying with that as well.I was interested in buying a watch but somehow I find it hard to post 50 posts before I can access the sales part.

It's been hoist by its own petard I think; it's where the majority of enthusiasts probably gather, so it makes excellent sense to have a sales corner. As this is the most diverse and (mostly) interesting UK watch site the watches for sale reflect this - UK based so no worries over 'No CONUS' or import duty and delayed packages while offering a diverse selection of 'collector' or well regarded watches from private sellers.
Unfortunately this also means that it's one of the best s/h or pre-owned seller-to-seller sites going. However, the original intent of the site (and therefore largely the original members or true collectors/enthusiasts point of view) has been seen as being almost usurped by people who aren't going to spend hours a day pouring over watches and discussing the merits of a particular movement over another, but rather are there to buy or look for a watch to buy or sell. There was also a problem with spam I think.
Trust or reputation are one of the corner-stones of a good trading community - lots of newcomers all the time may dilute this it was said. Yes, but everyone has to start somewhere and if someone is a buyer or seller with 2 posts and no history you take the same sort of stance as if it's being advertised on ebay or another site.
It's also led to either people speed-posting 25/50 posts or people being accused of speed-posting 25/50 posts. You can't win.
It's a bit of time to invest, and predisposes an ongoing interest but what I would say is that once you 'go over', though, reluctantly or not, you do open up an Aladdins cave/Pandoras box of tasty morsels...
Either that or some cross-members may be able to help?
