A Beginner Guide To Selling Watches Online

Just as you don’t go to every place with the sign “used wristwatches for sale,” you should not try selling your watch to any place that says we buy used wristwatches. If you are also looking to sell your watch, here is some information that can help you.

To start, you should have a good idea of how much your wristwatch is worth. You can start by looking at similar models in renowned auction houses like Sotheby or eBay. Of course, it is for watches priced over $1000; for watches below it, look at different consignment stores or local pawn stores to get an approximate value. 

Once you know how valuable your wristwatch is, it is time to find an appropriate channel. As said, if your watch is over $1000 and is very rare and unique, then you need to take it to a good auction house. Rare items can get the best valuation there. Your local consignment stores and pawn stores are a good idea for anything less than that. There are also watch shops that specialize in buying and selling used wristwatches. If you don’t want to go to a physical store, there are many online stores for selling your vintage watches. EBay is one because our forums are dedicated to renowned watch brands like Rolex, Omega, and others. Listing in such forums will get you a good price for collectible wristwatches. 

If you sell it online, you need to know how to list your watch properly. For any forum or eBay listing, write down the watch’s condition very simply and comprehensively. Use bullet points to tell how each part is and what items you are giving with the watch (like the original box or paperwork). You should also list information like when you bought it, how long you have worn it, if you have replaced any part or not, etc. 

Authenticity will get you a reasonable price. When people look at used wristwatches for sale ads and see a popular vintage watch, they will want to check whether it is authentic. And this is where your record-keeping will come in handy. Keep a copy of the original bill, box, and other paperwork that came with it and show them to interested parties. This way, you will get a good price for your watch.
