If you're selling privately be careful. There are scammers who ask for pictures of your watch and then use them to list their own fraudulent listing. Also be careful of the method of payment if it is not by bank wire transfer.

If selling on eBay expect someone to offer a buy it now price to end the auction early. And note that eBay tends to side on the buyers side in case of a dispute.

It's a small chance but the nightmare scenario would be for one to sell privately and be ripped off.

 

Thanks. You're right about where my head is with the watch. I bought it in 2014. The antique/ porn broker wanted £3500 and I traded a Rolex Explorer 2 and couple of Tags and he gave me the speedy plus £2k. Then I do a bit of research and think ,wow if I can something like that for it I can sort my kitchen out. Ha! So, I'm in no rush and I can do my research on the net with the aid of this forum etc. Thanks for your advice. Most welcome

 

Thanks

 

Without getting political about it can I say that I have dealt with vintagespeedmaster.com on a multitude of deals and have more trust and faith in his advice, assistance, honesty and integrity than any watch dealer / seller I have ever dealt with.

Take this as you wish but I suggest challenging a sellers authenticity should be done with more consideration because all I see is someone questioning the integrity of someone whose integrity - as far as I can see is beyond reproach.

And I'm not necessarily having a go at said person. Just stating that perhaps we can all say things without thinking sometimes or perhaps were better directed in a more personable (less public) manner where any misconceptions can be easily resolved.

 

Sorry for offencing you, my post was just a single comment after putting a quick eye on this site I didn't know. I was not aware about the owner, and I was just referring to one mistake in one ad... But anyway it seems that the mistake is solved and everything is fine.
I hope to see more vintage speedmaster on vintagespeedmaster.com now
