Great advice!

Second on this. I got my Sub via C24. The escrow process is straightforward but the percentage that C24 charges sellers causes the price you pay to rise. If you have the ability to purchase it in person from a seller yo found on C24, I'd try to do that. You'd only pay applicable sales tax & not C24 fees additionally.

The draw to C24 is that the payment process is quite secure. Neither buyer nor seller can have both watch & money at the same time. There are the same inherent risks to buying something online, though. If the product is misrepresented, or if the seller is otherwise untruthful, you still run into a problem. The secure money aspect of the platform is a plus, though.
