so I am trying to buy a tudor from a member at the sales section, I made a deal with him, now his status showing "Banned"!
I am asking for advise, should I buy from him? Face to Face transaction?

Thank you

The banned guy is probably a scammer.
He wouldn't get banned for nothing.
Proceed with extreme caution.

No you should steer clear good chance he’s a scammer or his account was hacked by a scammer.

What were the details of your deal?

Let common sense prevail. This isn't your first near miss.

No free lunch OP. Go create a relationship with your AD.
or contact DavidSW and buy the watch you want.

Better to get a real, authentic watch with your money than to be scammed out of it.

To state the obvious.....NO, do not deal with a banned member!

Thankfully he was removed before hand, or right now you'd be asking for help on how to get your money back. In most cases, you won't!
I'd suggest you do some research on internet scams before trying to buy another watch over the web.

Usually discussion of any banned member isn’t allowed on most forums I visited.

Which member was he discussing? Are you the new Rolex forum hall monitor?

In my case, I likely will say something political. Time will tell.

face to face transaction, at night, under the train tracks

You should be glad the MOD helped you on time. Thread with caution

214270Explorer · 18 October 2021, 10:55 AM

Listen to and implement the above-given advice . . .
. . . . or pay the price.

Good work by the Mods and whoever reported the scam/seller before the OP could transact with the hijacker.

This is the value of many eyes scanning for fakes, scams and outright fraudulent listings.

LOL I was just banned on Face book Rolexforums for posting my experience with trying to sell a watch with Bob's Watches. Possibly the trigger was when someone offered to buy the watch to which I quickly commented back that it's not for sale here as it violates this groups policy and was just about my experience but was banned anyway. It's really not an issue as I only went there once in a while and I am more into watch making and technical details of vintage and grew tired of reading "the call from the AD scores" and the pictures of the newly acquired Daytona against the Ferrari steering wheel. To much material bragging there and little technical content.

GGGMT · 19 September 2022, 10:19 AM

OP, I say do it! Based on your near miss experiences, you crave risk, adventure, the unknown! Buying an amazing, genuine, clean watch from one of the well known amazing sellers here — Too boring!
