I used to sell in Ebay whenever i had the need to sell something to fund a new watch, but since they raised their fees to 10% of the endprice until the limit
of 2000€ i really feel a bit like beeing robbed in some way.

So i am looking for other places where i can offer a watch now and then.
Any experience with Chrono24 or do you just sell in the sales corner?

Hope you have some advise where to go.

Thanks guys

I sell them here, and one or two other watch websites, almost all the time. In the 6-ish years I've been seriously into vintage mechanical watches eBay has only gotten worse and worse for sellers.

Sell? Never has it crossed my mind....

Why would anyone ever sell a watch....

IMHO there is a tipping point for every collector where they end up wanting to sell something. It all comes down to 💰 and/or the accumulation of knowledge creating an expanded interest in this obsession.

I'm with you on this one Fritz - a man after my own heart. I have given vintage watches as gifts, but sell them 😲

Fortunately for us, other people do think the other (strange) way.

Yeah.... Odd people out there, I was given a bag of old watches by a friend, junk he said, he was cleaning out the basement and thought I might find them interesting.

I found the silver 1884 Rockford railroad pocket watch and the 1944 Omega 30T2 SC PC especially interesting.....

Be faithful to one woman. Have flings with hundreds of watches. ™
