Topic: AJB recommended sellers resource

Having now made a few purchases and sales through the forum I thought it might be helpful to have a thread to record our experiences,  all though buying from a fellow members should be a secure and friendly experience the odd rogue does get through now and again, Tom Ford 108's anybody! Buying from an unknown source over the Internet can cause some anxiousness so this could be helpful. Obviously if there is no appetite for this then that's fine.
All my experiences so far have been very good and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending,
007Jbdcmwr
MARCO
Shilton 125
All fantastic and courteous sellers.  ajb007/martini

It was either that.....or the priesthood

Yes, that's correct, he makes a good Morocco belt replica, a little thicker than the original BC screen used item but an excellent one nevertheless.

Unfortunately this is only something the site owner can do (SiCo) and he's seldom here...we can pitch it to him but it will probably boil down to how hard it is to incorporate it.

Re: AJB recommended sellers resource

I can personally vouch for:

Stefan
MrEddy21
Marco

All fast to respond, fast shippers and items have been exactly as described. To be honest I have't had a bad experience on this site (yet...) so I hope the good sellers far outweigh the bad ones around here! Even the members I have PM'd about items, but didn't end up buying from, have been very prompt and polite.

Re: AJB recommended sellers resource

I thought it might be pertinent to resurrect this thread given recent experiences by some members buying from other ajb members.  I would respectfully ask if everyone with a positive experience adds to it,  just in the spirit of watching out for each other and maybe to help root out those who use our forum as purely a selling tool. if you've had a bad experience maybe log it here too? 
My hope is that this thread can grow and be used by members wanting to buy and sell,  if you are selling for the first time then maybe you could post on here and maybe add anything such as your eBay ID to help your first sale?  please feel free to add any suggestions you think would help.  It's a given that people sell on AJB like it or not.  Hopefully we can come together and make it a safe place to trade our Bond props,  memorabilia and clothing. 
On a more personal note, ive been asked why Ive never sold a watch that I've let go on AJB and given a good deal to a stranger, well I would never buy or sell a watch via ajb, the possible pitfalls of doing so ( a watch that works perfectly prior to posting arriving damaged or that stops working soon after)  are akin to selling a car. I also would carefully consider selling any sort of firearms,  but that's just me.  Happy trading everyone.

Re: AJB recommended sellers resource

I’ve only bought from one member so far but he obviously needs no further props from me as he is well known for all the right reasons:

Re: AJB recommended sellers resource

I would like to point out that I personally had 100 custom pin badges manufactured,  and I personally packed and posted out over 70 of them around the world and replaced the 4 that got lost at my own expense and not one you 70 odd members has added me to the list!!!  And that includes you Enjoying Death!   ajb007/wink

Remarkable!  People have short memories!  I don't know about you but those pins were a pain in the ass to sort!  I had to seek legal advice before getting mine made!
