    Viewing sales corner

    I'm sure it's been posted a thousand times before, so apologies for this but I've now reached over 50 posts, been a member for more than 60 days and yet I can't see a forum entitled "Sales Corner" Do I just wait for a moderator to give me access or do I need to do something?

    You still need to PM the mods to confirm that your access is working.

    Just make sure you familiarise yourself with the fundraiser - it's more important than sales corner...

    Glad you got it sorted today. Being a Sunday, members seem to post more than other days, usually after resting from the car boot sale they bought them earlier.

    Right, what can I sell you sir? Prepare for your wallet to never exist with the same weight as you previously knew it.

    I expected it to be better than it was to be honest. Plus a few posts in some of the ads were simply out of place causing the thread to be deleted by the OP or to simply fizzle out resulting in the OP not selling the item.

    Not being able to post in the SC is a bit of a pain at first but nothing a few private messages can't sort out.

    There are indeed some nice time pieces in there and I've already been tempted! Missed a ceramic Daytona at a reasonable price by a few days but would have had that. Should have got my 50 post target completed sooner!

    No problems, it's nothing special anyway, theres only so many Submariners under £4000 you can look at in one day anyway.

    Oh, I don't want one of them. Lol
    Hoping to find a nice CWC diver. If I can't wait 60 days, my impulsivity might force me to buy a new one!

    I am the guy who sold that Ceramic; I'm afraid you probably wouldn't have 'had that' because you were just one out of many potential buyers. With SC the really tasty stuff goes before you can blink. I had ten firm offers in a few minutes. You have to be quick_____
    Anyway, the new owner is a regular TZ guy and it looked really good on him. Better than it did on me! You'l enjoy SC, most fun part of the forum in some ways.

    Huh...so that’s it, I’ve joined and now have to waffle on for another 40-odd posts and to come up with some meaningless irrelevances which no one here will read or care for to access SC?

    If you waffle for fifty posts in a post padding way, and then stop, everyone will recognise your reason for joining the forum. The SC is a benefit for members, not a free sales platform.

    That's the spirit.... keep posting those meaningless irrelevances...

    Whatever you do, don't look at, engage with or communicate in a meaningful way with the varied and interesting contributors to this watch enthusiast forum!

    Unlucky fella. Must have been hard working doing 50 posts in a few days all for nought. I’m sure there was some top quality comments in them though 

    Members who’ve been here for years post meaningless drivel constantly. Others pick on new members, some even think they run the place. Post what you want and as long as it’s not rude or offensive and also don’t forget, it takes 60 days to gain access to sc, so take your time to see what’s what. After you’ve taken a good look around, you’ll have made a mental note who not to deal with, as no one ever seeks to post about bad experiences so you can’t rely on the feedback section. Oh and Sc isn’t the be all and end all, so don’t wait if you see the right watch elsewhere.

    Is that another little hint to the contents of the grievance you're hauling around with you? Poor Malvolio. On this doll, point to the place where they hurt you.

    And again. Nasty and never self analytical, or he’d realise his posts are crap, yet he critiques others.

    Speak your mind. I do, but the ones with big post counts don’t like it.

    Not true, all you need is the direct link through which you can get early access to buying and selling.... Early access

    Thank you sir for your supportive rely. Appreciated!

    Not particularly interested in buying or selling or taking advantage of this "free sales platform". I was just wondering why the arbitrary set-point on accessing a part of the forum? Some of the trite responses below and those you have highlighted above explain why.

    This is, first and foremost, a community. We happen to have a facility to buy and sell. Become a trusted member of the community and you can use Sales Corner to buy and sell.

    Behave as some sort of low-rent barrow boy who is keen to take advantage and you'll be treated as such. Post drivel to achieve the magic post-count and you may find that you go from 49 to 0. Which happens, and quite frequently.

    And don't under any circumstances think that you can buy from Sales Corner and sell on eBay or similar for a quick earner. TZ-UK members are very, very observant, and the ban hammer can be swiftly deployed.

    Posts of under 20 meaningful words auto reduce your count by 2 - is that still the case?

    Good to see the OP has kept posting after getting his access to SC. 59 posts in 3 months followed by 1 post in the next 2 months.

    Not in a way to slate the OP as to be honest some really great value watches for sale (struggling not to buy some of them)
    Just after reading some post some of the sellers seem to get slated for one reason or another (won't go into detail on.which post) just seems a bit unnecessary to me
