I'm not sure that we should be moderating the private sales on the board...
Seller's have the right to choose who they would prefer to do business with...
It is there item, therefore there chose...
If I were selling a Watch, and I had the choice of a US buyer verses a European one, I would go with the former for obvious reasons - Regardless of who PM'd me first or posted first...
I would also take into consideration the reputation of the individual...
No one is going to force me to commit to a transaction with a person I do not trust just because they posted "I'll take it" first...
Like I said, I think you're asking to much from the Admin team here...
