    How do you access sales corner?

    Hi,

    I joined on Jan 10th and was hoping to access sales corner. How do you do it? I can't see it in the forum list.

    Thanks for your help.

    By the way I am hoping someone has a Panerai for sale...

    Hello

    You need an Enigma machine and to be able to predict what will happen with Brexit. So pretty straightforward!

    Welcome to TZ UK, it's a great place to be.

    You should make a few more posts counting down to the magic 50. Kinda like a shuttle launch, it'll be cool as.

    I don't care personally but many on here seem to get their knickers in a twist about "speedposting". I'm surprised you haven't been completely lambasted already actually!

    Some of the more established members of the forum have mentioned that the posts should offer something to the community in order to get access. I have not seen the previous but every single one of the OP's posts in this thread were absolutely useless....

    Thanks - I have been around for a while and lurking for longer. Learnt loads already and hope to learn more. Found it a friendly place to be so far just hope I haven't offended anyone with this thread (that was not my intention).

    No offence meant. The original post was a genuine question as I thought 60 days was the trigger and could not work out how to access sales corner. The rest were a bit of fun triggered by a comment from another member that they thought it was fun.

    Once again apologies for any annoyance or offence

    Speedposting is not necessarily about the speed of your posts, but rather just posting rubbish to up your post count. Basically a sign that all the individual is only here to take advantage of the forum benefits, which are supposed to be there for people who actually make meaningfully contributions to the community. Basically just taking advantage of the forum.

    I get that. Hopefully my other posts to the forum have added at least a little something. Given I waited 60 days to post this and thought it was 60 days or 50 posts you can see that I am a genuine member who has not (apart from today) been speed posting.

    You'll never please all the people all the time,no matter if it's a one word comment or a 200 word eulogy on the merits of the Rolex gas escapement valve , indeed some people will look at this post and see that I am nearing 250 posts so I can post in sales corner! 🤥

    Theres got to be a few people people itching to make an appearance in this thread.

    It took me a while to be able to see the sales corner and to be honest most of my posts are probably pointless because i dont know all that much about watches.

    But hey as longs as your a decent stand up guy im sure you'll be fine here.

    Agreed - Some admin members feel that you need to earn access to sales corner by contributing to the forum. If your posts are worthwhile I'm sure the glitch won't happen.

    The post stipulation suggests that, yes, access is earned by contribution.

    Mezza, Welcome but using "search" first may have been easier and not lifted your head above the parapet . I learned the hard way.

    No-one, in the history of internet forums, has ever used search before posting a question.

    Only afterwards, when they have been lambasted for not doing so.

    How do you access sales corner?

    Welcome Mezza. I recently joined also. On the speed posting point my advice is to keep it relevant and informative. I've occasionally been picked on by a few over sensitive types that are here to sniff out dealers etc. N.B. that's a good thing to moderate in order to keep the place honest. Overall have enjoyed my stay here so far and have already bought a nice watch on SC.

    re access to SC

    Just wondering how 'they' calculate your 60 days. I joined 16/01/17 and by my reckoning I'm over the 60 now and as can be seen well over 50 posts.
    Is it automatic or do you have to ask?

    Ask the site owner - he should have an answer for you.

    Would you be though?

    16-31 Jan: 15 days
    1-28 Feb: 28 days
    1-17 Mar: 16 days

    59 days?

    Or, you know, just be a bit more patient?

    No, because 60 days have not elapsed. We are on the 60th day, but it's not over yet.
