Choose a Reputable Dealer for Your Online Watch Sale
If you're one of the many people who make the decision to 'sell my watch' every year, you may be wondering how to go about it and what is the best, easiest and most convenient way, as well as which is the best way to realise your watch's true potential and get the best price.
Online selling is becoming increasingly popular because everyone is time poor and every minute of the day needs to be made to count. There are, however, one or two pitfalls to beware of and knowing how a reputable online dealer will handle your sale can help you recognise when all is not as it should be.
One way to tell an honest and reputable dealer is by the way they treat you. Are you seen as a real person who is worthy of their time and effort, or do they give the impression you're merely another way to make money?
A reputable dealer will want to speak to you. They'll want to ask questions regarding the watch you wish to sell or get a valuation for in order to ascertain a few facts about the watch and estimate its value. They will also want to reassure themselves that you, too, are a real person, so there is a mutual trust established between both parties.
Be wary of anyone who offers a standard amount without any consideration of the watch itself. Just because your watch carries one of the major names, such as Cartier or Rolex, does not automatically give it a specific monetary value. Other key factors include the model, the condition and whether or not the watch has any other distinguishing features. All of these things affect the value and a reputable dealer will need to know them all before offering a firm price. They may offer a ball-park figure, to give you a rough idea, but this should never be a firm offer on a watch they have not seen.
Lastly, to help you make the decision when you're asking yourself the question 'should I sell my watch', the dealer should offer insurance for the transit of the watch between you and the dealer's premises and should collect the watch from either your home or office at no extra charge to you. As added security, you should also be able to track your delivery online.
These are just a few of the ways you can tell if you're dealing with people who care not only about watches, but about their customers too.
