    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....

    what an odd idea.

    IMHO there is a tipping point for every collector where they end up wanting to sell something. It all comes down to ::money:: 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 :eek:

    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. ™
