Where to sell watch.

[crankedup]

My Wife has a good working vintage (1920's) gold rolex watch. Recommendations please as to where is a reputable place to sell please.

TZ forum but it will take you time to build up your post count to 250 (min required for access to sales corner) if you're a new member.

A lot of people tend to dismiss the likes of eBay and Gumtree but I've listed my Black Bay on these sites regardless.

You could also advertise on Chrono24 for a fee and why not try on here for free.

I've actually found eBay to be pretty good for watches over the years. Sold a few of my Omega collection on there after getting ridiculously low offers on TZ.

It's their fees that make it less attractive for me. I've over-priced mine to compensate for the 10% fee + PayPal fee but ideally, someone will contact me and we can reach a better deal.

Just sold my Calibre De Cartier via Ebay, the fees are expensive and you have to deal with a lot of prats wanting to either give you £50 for it or pay £10 per week etc but it got the sale done so can't moan too much, especially as i got more than double what watch dealers were offering for it

I recently sold more than 30k worth of watches on Ebay including a 14K Patek which I sold in less than a week.....i used it as a shop window and did all the deals outside EBAY

You'll have the same issues selling here, too, with members who obviously cannot afford a Rolex offering you a pittance or monthly direct debits.

A year ago the fees maxed out at £75 but now its silly if you have an expensive watch to sell.

Pistonheads Classifieds - I've sold several watches of varying values with little fuss!
