Fred? He's some spaccone that sells nice watches too cheap.

BTW nice watches and looks like in reality you already have a number in mind for your watches. However don't get your hopes too high. Despite any private messages you might get, and with post count less than 200, you're going to need the luck of the Irish to get a grand apiece here for that stuff.
I thought he was thinking a grand for the lot (minus the Omega’s which aren't in this thread) which would actually be a fair wholesale price. If the OP wants top of the market for them, he’s going to be hard pressed with no experience in the industry/hobby and no sellers credibility.

He has not so subtly hinted that he is looking for a buyer for the lot- but he needs to understand that he’s going to get about 1/3 of street value for each piece. Whomever buys the collection with intent to break it up and sell it needs to take on the burden of vetting each piece, possibly servicing them if they are worth it, and then brokering, offering returns if not happy…it’s not a huge margin when all is said and done.

Yep. Just bought a nice eterna for eur 90. Today the watchmaker called if i could agree on a eur 280 service. I agreed. Just to give the watch a second life. Monetary it's a bad decision. If i had 30 watches for service. Wow.

Hi.

After all the tips here, I decided to list all the watches on Ebay. I think that's for the fairest way. Shipping worldwide.

Thank you so much for all the input and the hints.
Selling these watches is much harder than i expected....

You can find all offers under my Ebay name:

recordfarm.erfurt

e.g. the omegas:

or Eterna:

and so on......

just browse thru my offers.

Again a very big big THANK YOU!!!! to all of you!

I had to set the search filters to 'worldwide' to see the rest of the watches.

I agree. Selling is hard. I'd rather attempt to straighten a hairspring or fix a case than to jump through the selling hoops.
