Wondering if anyone here collects/buys/sells watches? If so how do you go about selling a watch?

I have something thats rather in demand, that i may be selling but.... I have no clue how to sell it. 

any tips, hints etc?

Hello, what is is you want to sell @ThorpyFX ?

There are two options, either you line numerous watches around your arm, wrist to elbow, covered by the sleeve of your pinstripe suit, you roll this up to display the wares to a prospective client when you are sure the coast is clear.

Similarly, you can have the watches attached to the inner lining of your pinstripe suit jacket, you keep one hand in the pocket and unveil your wares by "flapping out" that side of the jacket, again only when the coast is clear.

Stay lucky.

Is my go to place to buy and sell. Decent lot on there.

(you need a certain number of posts to access the sales forum... But I'm sure if you pop a post up asking how to sell xxxx if someone wants it they'll say hello).

Ditto if it'a a Tudor Black Bay 58 with the steel bracelet, but I doubt you'd be selling one of those this soon!

Armour Winston offer pretty good prices. One place I would avoid is Watchfinder, who will try to rip you off by offering a comically low amount. I recently thought about selling a Rolex, and was quoted between 16 and 17k for it by numerous places. When Watchfinder finally got around to responding they offered 12k! In the end I decided to keep it. 

If possible, try to find somewhere that offers commission sales. As long as you don’t need the cash quickly it’s the way to go. If it’s something really sought after, then it offers the best of both worlds, as you’ll get a good deal, won’t have to wait ages, and someone else will deal with the plebs on your behalf.
