Advice on Selling in the UK

Hi all,

Ive been living aboard for a while and amassed far too many watches - 14 at last count !

Now Im moving around with work and sadly my job isn't quite as good as it used to be the time has come to slowly sell some of my collection.

I currently have a Rolex 15010 black dial and 1601 grey dial up on Chrono, both well over £1000. As it's on over £1000 I believe this means EBay checks them, so wondered if that is the better option vs Chrono as it provides a layer of security for both parties ?

Listed on Chrono24 as its the platform Ive used in the passed, did also wonder if its fairly safe here ? It concerns me that the buyer gets a week with the watch before payment is released and with so many watch thefts in the UK I wondered if the platform had been affected ?

Lastly I cant find a post detailing how many posts you need to have to sell here, does anyone know ?

Ive been a member of this forum for 1.5/2 years but I dont post much, would love to post them here too ?

Thanks in advance 😀

That makes sense, 200 posts it is 😀

Thanks Dan, some days I love selling watches as you talk to people with the same passions. Other days its a nightmare, people asking me if a watch from 1970 has any marks... Lets hope for the former

£1500 and over go to the EBay authentication service.
Lots of people won’t deal on EBay but I’ve never had a problem selling, and now they don’t charge any fees plus payment is very swift to your bank. Often even before you’ve posted it off!!
Down side is they a obliged to notify HMRC and you’ll have to do self assessment.
It does reach the biggest market audience.
Good luck with everything.
