online sites for selling a fairly expensive watch

Hi, I would like to hear of recommended sites to sell a decent watch through. I have had no luck with eBay so far.

Many thanks for any words of wisdom.

    No luck on ebay? start it at 99p.

    Do you think its worth more than everyone else does?

  • If it really is any good, see what a jeweller would offer you or what sort of estimate an auction house would put on it.
    If they aren't interested then it may not be as good as you think it is.
  • just because you paid a lot for it doesnt mean its worth a lot, you may have just not looked for the best offers.. have a check on google etc and try find the cheapest new selling pric, then take off 10% if its never been worn 25% if its had light occasional wear 50% if it has had daily wear but not scratched and take off 75% if its well worn. thats how I work out my prices roughly. some items I exclude from that but it usually works pretty well.

    10% off for a used watch? even if not worn i think thats optimistic.

    Warranty possibly void, risks of it being faulty, I would want a bigger discount than 10%.

    No, I don't think I do. It is brand new in its box and I have knocked at least a third off the price.

    Thanks for your replies - in particular GabbaGabbaHey.
