This listing page is provided with the needs of INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE OWNERS AND COLLECTORS in mind.

Please do not list BNIB or NIB (brand new in box and new in box) pieces for sale here - they do not meet the guidelines for listing on this board, and any such listings will be deleted without notice.

Please note that we strongly advise using your own best judgement when entering an agreement to buy or sell, and to check references diligently, especially if you are unfamiliar with the selling or buying party.

Caveat emptor!

Consider this a classified section for hobbyists and collectors to buy, sell, and trade. Please observe the applicable guidelines for posting - Don't screw it up for everyone else!

Some simple guidelines for users:

• This free listing service is PRIMARILY for watches which are PRIVATELY OWNED AND NOT ORIGINALLY PURCHASED FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF RESALE.

  However, if you would like to help contribute to ThePuristS, please click here for information on ThePuristS' Patrons Program.

• Posting frequency limits: No more than 3 individual posts per day, per seller, not to exceed 10 posts per week, 15 posts per calendar month. PLEASE NOTE: listings should be from and by individual sellers ONLY, and should not link to any commercial site, including personal or commercial selling sites. This includes online auctions such as Ebay. The listing should be for a specific watch, a specific offer to sell, that can be completed immediately between a willing buyer and the listing seller.

  Again, please do not link to auction listings, virtual or otherwise. Items listed here should be available for completion of transaction here, at the time of listing.

• Re-posting: Please do not re-post the same WTB, WTS/FS, or WTT while the original post is still on the same page.
• Item description: Please try to include exact brand, model, ref and cal # if available, accurate description of condition, and an asking price.
• Text and photos used in listings - Text or photos clipped without permission or credit from other websites, articles, or forums should not be used and will be considered cause for deletion of a post.
• Range of items acceptable: Basically anything watch or timepiece related; fountain pens and other collectible writing instruments.
• PLEASE DO NOT POST FOLLOW UPS TO LISTINGS!
  PLEASE CONTACT SELLER (OR WTB) BY PRIVATE EMAIL.
  Only exception to this is a "sold" or "on hold" notice by original lister.
  
• Links to other websites:

  Like any site, we are strongly against shilling of any kind, on our site to other sites, or on other sites to ours. Here shilling is defined as any posts, links, or references whose PRIMARY purpose is to direct traffic to another site. This includes links that are shills, but masquerading as informational references.

  April 30, 2004: ThePuristS.com will no longer allow links or references of any type or reason to sites which as a matter of blanket site policy do not allow links to ThePuristS.com. Posts that include links, references or shills for such sites will be edited or deleted, with or without notification.

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the removal of the offending listing without prior notice, and may result in the suspension of listing privileges.

By using this listing service, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless ThePuristS.com, its owners, and any other party not directly related to the specific transaction from any liability, explicit or implied, resulting from such listing or any resulting transaction.

ThePuristS.com, its owners, and any other party not directly related to the specific transaction is not responsible for the content or representations made in any particular post, and will not become involved in any dispute between transacting parties. (12/14/02)
