Best Way to Sell My Watch

Matt P on 12/08/2023 - 23:59

Back in 2015 i bought myself a Baume & Mercier Capeland 10061

Wore it and another watch (March LA.B AM2) interchangeably for a few years, stopped wearing a watch when stuck at home during covid and then was given a smart watch which i wear 99% of the time.

A B&M isn't the kind of watch to appreciate in value and neither is the March LA.B but the ML has some sentimental value so i think the B&M has to go as i'm on a bit of a crusade to smash my mortgage.

What is the best way to sell a decent watch these days and get a decent return? Its no rolex/patek etc.. and i understand this but still want to maximise what i get for it if i can.

Cheers

    gumtree, i sold a few watches on there. Just make sure you know the value and stick to it, you will get alot of lowballs.

    Use eBay. It’s got the more serious buyers and better exposure to greater audience.

    Sign up for eBay plus (just do it monthly for $5), that will get you 3 no seller fee per month (current promotion) which will maximise your proceeds (seller fees are usually 10-13% of final sale price)

    Also use eBay sold items search to see what the going rate is for your watch or similar model.

    I sold all my Russian watches (bought through OzBargain posts) on Ebay. Got more than I paid for the mechanicals; half what I paid for the battery one.

    My 1950s Automatic/date Swiss watch got crap money on Ebay.

    Join Australian Affordable Watch Forum on facebook. Generally the watches there are <$2k in value but there's another similar group for any value of watch.

    I wouldn't bother with gumtree or ebay, those are silly suggestions. you'll end up with a LOT of tyre kickers doing that. Watches in these groups tend to move quickly, within minutes sometimes if the price is right.

    There may even be a group dedicated to that brand.
