Moda or trusted sellers?

What’s your thoughts?
Moda, ir trusted sellers?

I’ve never looked on Moda, but it seems the prices are lower than TS?
Are the deals good enough, in your opinions, to risk the headaches?

I am on Moda, but have never bought anything on there. Having said that, I think as long as the person you are buying from as credible vouches, you are pretty safe to deal on there. Prices are usually substantially lower on there, and the next time I buy pre-owned I may give the Moda group a shot.

I've done one deal through/on Moda and tons through trusted dealers (who are, almost, all on Moda too). All have gone without a hitch.
Do your research and referrence checks whenever you're sending a wire, f2f, etc

I've bought close to 7 figures of watches from Moda NP. Do your research as you would here. The TRF trusted sellers are overpriced for sure lol

Many moda sellers are legit
Prices are good

They kind of revolutionized and distrupted how watches are bought and sold

Facebook seems to be banning anyone who makes a post offering for sale a brand name item where the brand name (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, etc.) is in the title or body of the listing. Post some kind of certification that your item is genuine, and risk getting banned too.

So, it is becoming harder to search for anything on Moda.

Even with this shortcoming the owners of Moda are still clamoring for fees for different levels of membership.

So, people are paying fees to list and risking losing their Facebook accounts with every post.

I think the days of Moda are numbered. Facebook cracking down. Private forums and groups via chats WhatsApp etc will be cheapest going forward. But I just pay slightly more for a grey seller I know that I can do a face to face

MODA if you are seasoned
If this is your first Rolex, then trusted seller.

MODA is wholesale and significantly cheaper

Its neat what Vadim has built… the whole brand around watches , cars, jewelry, you name it

Guy became multimillionaire through Facebook group

Moda - but it’s a private “invite-only” group now. The time to join was years ago.

Yes, I prefer legitimate dealer/enthusiast groups with people who can vouch.

I joined a while ago when I was looking for a Silver Snoopy. The prices are indeed better, but some of the listings are confusing to me … maybe it’s just the way they are presented.

Anyway, I’m sure once you spend enough time there it’s worth the research.
