I have been buying and selling watches for thirty years. For the most part, I buy hard to find novelty watches. There are several things you should look for when purchasing a watch online. First, check to see how reputable the site is. You can go to whois data base to find out how long the site has been up and running. You can also go to a government web site to see if any complaints have been lodged against a web site. Next, see if the web site carries any logo, like Paypal or BBB. A web site, which carries one of these logos on their site, means that they plan on being around for the long haul.
To give you an example, clicking on a site that has a paypal-verified logo. This logo will take you directly to Paypal`s web site and show verification. Next you should check to see if a web site has a refund policy. This should be in plain view. The refund policy should be written in easy to understand language. There should also be a privacy section in plain view. Example: This web site does not store personal information on any of our clients, once your order is shipped, your personal information is deleted from our site. Last but no least, in plain view, should be a disclaimer. A good disclaimer should tell you what you are buying. It should also tell you in big bold letters, what you are not buying!
I cannot express enough, the importance of having a disclaimer which clearly explains what you are really Selling. Although, there are some who may think those selling replica products are unethical. Let us look at the whole picture. The average Rolex watches runs about $10,000.00. If you shrank the world down to 100 people, only three people could afford to buy a $10,000.00 watch! So the other 97 people would have to settle for something less. So is it morally wrong to provide a service to people who normally could not afford to buy an expensive product. I say no, provided that the consumer completely understands that they are getting a duplicate and not the real thing.
Replica products have been on the scene for a long time. Sometimes being sold by merchants, who are unaware. Ok, so say we clamp down on all the people who sell replica products. How will that affect the global economy? How much tax revenue (Billions) comes from selling replica products. I am and always will be a champion for the little guy. I think if a guy or gal, wants to knowingly buy a replica product because it makes them fell good about themselves. Then, who am I to say, its not right! How much harm does it do?
I think it is petty if anyone out there is concerned about the legal standards of selling replica products. So, are you really saying that I lost my right to feel good about myself? I look to you for a better argument as to why selling replica products are wrong. Sorry, I make $60,000.00 a year and live in a modest home. I have a very good education and chances are, I will never own a real Rolex! So does that make me a criminal because I bring happiness and value to someone`s life? You decide!
