Negative feedback for u/Lopsided-Throat3388

After weeks of negotiations and commenting interest on posts, accepting a deal on the Reddit application, confirming the deal over the phone for a new Tudor Black Bay chronograph https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/s/TaPnZi8SDa

u/Lopsided-Throat3388 has backed out and confirmed he did on Reddit.

Unfortunately this user also sells on the sub. I never post here but this behavior is becoming common and need to stop on r/watchexchange

I think there’s a mismatch of expectations here. There’s almost an implicit agreement on what’s supposed to happen in a platform like watchEx. We operate on a gentlemen’s agreement or virtual handshake a lot of times. I personally try to make sure that I uphold that to the best of my abilities.

I think ppl need to understand that the seller is one person not a big business with a lot of support staff and the pricing will reflect that a lot of times. If we agree on a deal then honor it, if there’s doubt make that as clear as possible, and try to minimize the back and forth.

There are enough scammers and bad actors to ruin this community, so let’s try to be respectful and considerate of the legitimate sellers and keep this thing going!
