MJP Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) I can't think of any. I'm not going to link to any rep dealers sites, I'll use my own photos. Of course I'm going to be clear about its (un)-authenticity. B&R 92 with date window. "It's an 'homage' watch" Maybe they'll take it down/against the rules. I am bracing myself-- Thanks Edited September 27, 2006 by MJP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linder Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Keep in mind, in the US, it is illegal to sell a rep. Legal to own up to 20 of them. Legal to wear. Illegal to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illegal to sell. I knew I was missing something. There's a guy in Japantown (SF) though that has a store that sells all kinds of fake [censored]. His watches are the shittier, cheap reps. He's got LV, Chanel, Coach bags all kinds of stuff. Edited September 27, 2006 by MJP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Why not sell it here? Depending on the city, lots of lowballers, airheads and guys who'll steal everything but your shoelaces on Craigslist. Like I say, it does depend on the city.....

Sweattdogg Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I sold an Rolex Sub on there, but they took my listing down the day after I posted it. I did get about 4-5 people who emailed me before I posted it so I sold it pretty easy. I directed the buyer to RWG and I think he is a member on here now.

I know this sounds bad, but I can't justify the membership cost to post. SORRY. I did donate $5 though to RWG, I'm not a complete freeloader. Plus I like stupid lowballers and scumbags, because I once I recognize them, I can [censored] with them and call them out, maybe even kick thier ass if they get too out of line, with a pure moral superiority to back it up. Unless they pull a gun, then they win. I think I'll take a chance...Law Enforcement has higher priorities here in the big city. Maybe I'll call it a stage prop...hmmm Edited September 27, 2006 by MJP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) 5$ is one month VIP membership... Oh well--what a waste of $5!! I'm totally kidding... Edited September 27, 2006 by MJP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 As Oliver say's, it's only 5 bucks don't be so cheap. Also I wouldn't worry to much about the law on Craigslist, no I would be far more worried about Richemont. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 The two lawyer groups that will hunt you down for selling reps of their clients brands are GAF (Rolex) and Richemont (just about everything else) and these guys don't kid around.

Ken Learn something everyday around RWG, thank you for passing your knowledge down to kindergarten class. BTW, are there any threads about people who have had run-ins with this organization? On this site or the others? Is that taboo to talk about? Edited September 27, 2006 by MJP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJax5 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I see ads on reps all the time day in and day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 ... Legal to own up to 20 of them. Legal to wear. Illegal to sell. Just curious Linder where you got this info... From the revised code of my home state... 2913.32 ORC, Trademark Counterfeiting states that Posession is also illegal (as well as selling, transporting and manufacturing). Seizure of the fakes can only be done by members of Law Enforcement though...so if an AD or watchmaker attempted to "seize the fakes" they would be commiting a theft offence. Now I can pretty much guarentee that law enforcement *for the most part* has better things to do with their time *cough, doughnuts, cough* than mess with your wristwatches.

Watchmeister Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I have never dealt with Craiglist (still trying to figure out what it is), but I would always be more inclined to sell to folks around here. They know what they are buying and if there is aproblem you are hopefully dealing with experienced rep buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
