Gentlemen, let me add my two cents here: MD approached the staff with a request for his own modding section on the board. We went back and forth discussing it, and the consensus was that he needs to show more experience before we give him our official approval. I discussed this with him at length. The very suggestions that you guys have come up with are the same ones I gave him: he needs essentially a business plan, laying out how he's going to manage watches coming in, watches going out, billing, keeping track of projects, what projects he will accept, and communication. I gave him some time to come up with a plan, put it in writing, and him and I could go over it. That would help him answer a bunch of questions before they came up, and give him a hard methodology to follow so he would be successful. I know he is gung ho to get this business going, but then "life happened". As always, things came up. Before he really had a chance to get started, this crap storm has blown up, and now he's trying to put out brushfires as fast as they pop up. That was exactly why I wanted a plan for him to follow. At this time, MD2020 is still not a formally recognized Modder here on the board. That doesn't impugn him in any way, it just means that we are not formally endorsing him or giving him his own section yet. That will come with time, I'm sure. Until then, remember that he's doing the best he can, and approach business transactions with him with open communication, good expectations, and understanding of his limitations. He's a young guy doing his best. Communication (both ways) is the best way to form that positive outcome.

Come on guys, between all of us, we have more than enough business experience to help figure this one out. For online payment systems surely we could utilise one (or more) of the following; Authorize.net: http://www.authorize.net/ Google Checkout Dwolla: https://www.dwolla.com/ Stripe: https://stripe.com/gb Braintree: https://www.braintreepayments.com/ 2Checkout: https://www.2checkout.com/ There are numerous possibilities. Granted not all of them will be feasible, but surely using an imperfect alternative is more suitable than RWG going down the pan... And who says we must stick to only using one system. In the world of finance diversification equals safety. We tried putting all our eggs into the PayPal basket. Now we need to play the game smarter and be more adaptable to the changing payment world.

Kampf style made from French ammo leather. New leather oil darkened brown strap. with a nice aged Elias brass buckle. another one and another

What about a credit card processor like ccbill.com? They accept credit cards, wire transfers, electronic checks... Porn industry uses them so they shouldn't have an issue with us... The are able to set up recurring membership fees, one time fees, live video so we can get 24/7 feed of the sun rise/set outside of Nanuq's window....

You know I sold mine here a few days ago for 2/3rds of that? Price is a little high on that one without a gen bracelet. They are really nice watches, and wear much larger than you might think

TC LV...

Sorry Indy... Not shutting 'er down... TT

I am voting for you during the next Presidential election! Haha, bravo with the suggestion.

No one likes witty remarks in general.... come on guys... lets bring this back to the real issues... which this is a REAL issue. No reason to start drama and other issues that don't need to be there. This thread was created to call out people that have been having issues with MD... no reason to hijack the thread by inserting comments that have nothing to do with getting the issues resolved. It just causes unneeded drama within the group. We are all here for the same reason(s)... our watches. Its Friday... Cheers.

Most of the time yes. I remember how possessed I became when wanted a BK Crown & Tube on a Noobmariner , after I got it I was like MEH! The old one was fine really. I think the inaccuracies should be seen as characteristics and appreciated for what they are. Sometimes I think we forget what the R in RWG stands for.
