Advice on selling watches needed please....

panama · 31-01-2013 10:15PM #1

I have some used watches, mainly swatches, some in almost new condition and others good to fair.

Some of them are rare enough and might be worth a few quid maybe.

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to Ebay.

I understand there's sellers fees involved so I don't know what's the best way to go about it on there.

Auction with a reserve?
Try and sell worldwide rather than just Ireland & Uk?

Is Amazon worth trying as an alternative or additional method?

Or are there online auction sites where I could throw them up on?
If anyone has any helpful info/tips I'd be most appreciative. Cheers.

try Adverts.ie first and post on the Selling thread on this forum...alot of us on this forum are a sucker for a nice watch at good price...no matter how much we dont need it ...;)

I'd definitely try adverts.ie first.

eBay can be a total pain in the balls for sellers. There's the insertion fee, then their commission when it sells and then the risk of getting scammed. It is now impossible to leave negative feedback for a buyer, so there's a lot more chancers out there.
