By choosing to have Swiss Watch Trader sell your vintage watch on consignment you have the ability to achieve a far greater selling price, and an improved return after fees than by selling to another watch dealer or selling privately. Many people choose to sell their vintage watches via eBay in the hope of gaining a higher price than by selling to a watch dealer. This can sometimes be the case. However there are a few things to consider. A private seller may not be able to achieve the same advertised/selling price as professional watch dealer due to the lack of feedback or customer reviews. Plus a private seller can expect fees as high as £945 when selling a £10,000 watch. A seller would also have to take into consideration chargebacks for fraudulent transactions, returns, plus the obvious scammers and chancers. Selling a watch to a dealer can be far easier and safer for the private individual but depending on the watch, the price offered may be much lower than the market value. This is when having Swiss Watch Trader sell your watch on a sale or return basis makes perfect sense. You achieve the price you want with none of the risks or dangers associated with trying to sell the watch yourself and you receive a higher price than selling direct to a watch dealer.
