Newbie from South Africa with Ques

Hi All,

I am really new here and from the other side of the world. I have been investigating for quite some time the ability for someone to trade on these types of sites being away from the States or Europe.

I would like to hear what anyones opinion is on this.

Also being "so far" away are there any additional risks and also what is the recommendation with regard to additional charges with regard to shipping etc etc.

If someone could assist me it would be appreciated.

Thank You

Welcome to TRF!

As always, "buy the seller before buying the watch". So if you find something interesting for sale, please do ask the seller relevant questions in order to get a satisfactory deal and experience.

You can post in the Classifieds Section once you have written 15 posts and have been a member here for 15 days.

Best of luck!

Greenie: would be nice to have your name posted. you can buy here right away. most sellers on here are for real, but you will still have to perform due diligence, as if you read the TRF rules you will see that TRF assumes no responsibility for the results of your sale/purchase. get references, check out photos of the watch...your seller if on TRF can provide you with names of other buyers or perhaps just personal references from other TRF members if no sale was ever done by him/her before. you can sell when you meet the posting rules. GOOD LUCK
best,
dan

Hi. You did not have your real name under your id, that is why he used greenie.

No attempt at guessing your name.

BTB, WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely, Stan.
