A Way to Fix For Sale Posts

I see a lot of unanswered spot check posts, I think for members under 1000 posts this should be a mandatory thing and when creating a post a randomizer gives you the date and time a watch needs to be set at for pics. I’m in the market but due to the unanswered spot checks I’m overly concerned about buying from anyone other than three known sellers.

Ehh, if I ever sell a watch I'd have no problem providing the interested party with a quick snap of a time of their choosing :>

Good idea, though!

I wouldn't consider a seller who does not respond to a spot-check.

Agree 100%, but what about the guys that are not being hit with a spot check request.

IMHO if one can find only 3 trusted sellers on TRF then more research is needed.

This^^ And I'd be more concerned about selling to someone with a low post count and who can't cough up $25 for a pledge membership....

Exactly how do we program this randomiser function?

We are not Chrono24, a commercial site.

Yes, that's definitely challenge. If the seller replies to your messages and you have the option to connect with them on social media, you will find out fast if they are trusted. Open to help you out show that they are not hiding anything.

Because "social media" aka text on a screen is so trustworthy?

That would be a lot of work for TRF's developers, constantly spot-checking. Its relatively easy to contact a seller and as it was mentioned before, if a seller doesn't respond, youre not at a loss there
