Owning a luxury watch and wanting to sell it a few years after is not a new story for some of us. Whether by choice or by force, sometimes these prized possessions need to be let go of. However, selling a Patek Philippe watch is not as easy as it seems because you would have to get it appraised in order to know how much it is really worth.
Luxury watches have information of the model details on the back. Taking note of these plus the name of the watch can help you when you inquire about it. Gathering information will make you more equipped when you get it appraised. Next, you should bring it to a watch expert, particularly to well-established places where selling watches is their specialization. These places have experts who can assist you and give you honest assessment so you can get your watch’s worth. The next step is to lay down your options and choose which buyer to sell your Cartier watch or any other luxury watches to. I would personally prefer a private buyer instead of the big auction houses. Private reputable buyers have quick turnaround and they too have their own professional watch experts.
Consider taking out of your list of options Ebay and Craigslist because they are breeding ground for scammers who pose as interested parties. Furthermore, those who are not experts when it comes to selling luxury Chanel watches and other branded timepieces might not know enough of your watch’s worth and giving in to their price might rob you off the real price you could earn. The Internet can be safe, however, you can consider private sellers like WatchBuyersInc.com because these guys have been in the business long enough to be known for being good in what they do.
In conclusion, selling a Rolex watch or any other luxury brand watches can be safe if you know where to go and how to look. Plus, like in all things, doing research beforehand will equip you with the right information during the assessment process up until the selling process. Be in the know so that you will get your luxury watch’s worth.
