Extrapolation to victim actually being a flipper is a quantum leap at best. This flipper as bogeyman is clearly a burr in your brain.

On another note, I’ve heard way too many Craigslist horror stories (people getting maced/beaten and robbed of their phones, etc.) that if I was to sell one of my watches I would just use Chrono24. Getting a picture of their license or getting their phone number means nothing nowadays; even 15 year old kids can get their hands on high quality fake licenses to buy booze with and there are apps to give you temporary fake phone numbers. Face to face transaction just opens you up to more risk nowadays I feel.
