How to sell watches? (UK)

[stickyfingers85]

Hi Everyone,

I'm fairly new to watch collecting and a complete novice to watch selling. I have a GP and a Tag that i'm looking to sell but no idea how to go about it.

Does anyone have any recommendations on the best method to sell? I've looked at the following so far:

• WatchFinder - Offers seemed really low
• Chrono24 - I might try this, but the reviews seem fake
• Ebay - I've had bad experiences as a seller before so will avoid this for high value items
• Auction - I've emailed a couple of the local auction houses in London asking for estimates, but the charges are higher than ebay!
• Forum - I could list it here? Have been reading the rules on selling so I could pledge

It seems I can either sell them to a reseller, which is less hassle but ill get less for them, or try to sell privately which is more hassle and riskier, but i'll get a higher price in theory. There is also the added hassle of sending via post with insurance and things getting lost.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

P.S. I'm not looking to sell the watches on this thread, i read the rules, so i wont post details of models or prices, i'm just looking for advice on how to sell. Apologies if this isn't the right forum...
