I'd hesitate to buy a £5k watch from a member whose post count was 251 and joined 6 months ago because presumably I'd be the first person to buy from him. And if his post history consisted entirely of 'Great!', 'Nice watch', 'Love one of these', then I wouldn't go near him. And as can be seen above, post content is all-important in deciding who you want to deal with.
There's a feedback sub-forum called Heroes & Villains, which gives a pretty good idea of the kind of person you might be dealing with.
Some people still get confused between TZ and eBay. TZ is a self-regulating watch community where most members look out for each other, and the feckless, fakers and untrustworthy are quickly exposed. eBay is a classifieds selling platform where you don't know anyone.
I've completed loads of high-value deals on here and never had a problem yet.
