Hi all,
I'm considering selling my close to mint Rolex GMT 2 black ceramic. But can't list on SC, and don't want to get low balled by a trader.
Are there better places to sell than eBay? Or traders which bid decent money?
Thanks all, good at buying historically but not sold before!!
Jon
Think you are about to get blasted for a sneaky sales post.Quote:

Catawiki. Chrono24. Down the pub. Pub has lowest fees

Have you tried Watchfinder?
They’re usually pretty fair on Rolex sports.
Jon h has been a member here for 7 yrs so he's hardly being sneeky in my opinion .
Good luck with your sale . A few more posts you will be able to list it on sc
Yet he hasn't posted enough to have SC access, and has been too busy to read any relevant threads,Quote:

Yep, only 189 posts needed and at a rate of 61 posts every 7 years, he should be able to list it on SC by about 2039.Quote:

Chrono24 is a good place to sell

Blowers will sell on comission basis - might be worth your while.
Look out for some caustic posts as some take offence. You might want to be less specific about the watch you are looking to sell. Just a thought.
Oh dear. Too late - some have already fully quoted your post. Maybe they can do the same.

By then it will be worth a kings ransom and most of us will be toast,I feel depressed thinking about it.Quote:

Watchfinder will usually give a decent price on Rolex GMT. Else go for eBay. Chrono24 can be good but the fees are up front.
[emoji849] oh dear

You've probably had a few PM's from a few select member low balling you on price.
These people are what is known as the forum hoovers and they will make a profit on anything you sell to them.
Always worth a call to Joe at Xupes. They will offer to buy (not the best way) or sell at a commission +VAT.
Sold mine to Blowers.
I'm sure I could have squeezed more out of it elsewhere but it was hassle-free.
Check WTB section..

I would try watchfinder, they will offer a fair price.
You just did it.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, some useful..... others less so 🙄
Gunna get in contact with a few of the resellers mentioned and see how I get on. Some I'd not thought of so definitely worth while
Cheers
Jon
And ps 7 years and on here most days.....don't let the lack of posts tell you anything
Ask Ally
watches.co.uk no nonsense to deal with. Jon and Tim real gents.
You may want to hold on a few days if they discontinue at Basel as I saw a rumour on TRF.
I have successfully sold watches through Chrono24. Got more like that than I did by contacting dealers to buy off me/sell on my behalf. Not much trouble either IMO

Very diplomatically put, but it is certainly acceptable for members to recommend others and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Darren at Vintage Speedmaster. He has sold a few watches for me and is totally professional in every respect.Quote:

You can't win really, if you post you get accused of just bumping up your post count (by a select few) and if you don't you can't take advantage of the forum to it's fullest extent.Quote:

I was in a similar situation a while back. I sold to blowers for a fare price and they were easy to deal with.
I was in a similar position, had to sell one watch to purchase another but not enough posts.
Sold to watchfinder ( which went fine) but would have rather sold on here.
I have sold a couple to Blowers in the past, both times they came up with good prices compared to other quotes. I think I would be tempted with Chrono24, especially with such an in demand watch. I'm guessing you could take the dealers quote, compare it to their selling price, split the difference and be very competitive while still coming out ahead!?
Best of luck in selling!
Would imagine it's long gone, but great advice 😊Quote:

I managed to get a price I was happy with by selling to the trade.
Easy transaction and allowed me into my Blnr..... but keep thinking I should have kept it!
Oh well..... live and learn!
