Are you trying to sell your old, used, vintage or antique Rolex watch and nobody is offering you’re a good price on it? The economy is not what it used to be, we know. People are now more reluctant than ever, especially when it comes to spending a lot of money on luxury items like jewelry and watches. Moreover, many sellers don’t know how much their timepiece is worth, so they put exorbitant prices on their watches. Of course nobody will make you an offer if you list a $5,000 Rolex at $8,000.
The good news is that you can still sell a Rolex and get a good price if the watch is in great working order and you have all the paperwork for it. In fact, there are several methods you can try. But remember, for this to work, you need to know the real value of your timepiece.
Should You Sell Your Rolex Online?
Don’t know where to sell a Rolex in NYC? Try selling it online. There are many classified ad websites (Craigslist is the largest) that help people sell their items locally. Also, you could give Facebook a try. Their Marketplace has really taken off in recent years. And of course, eBay is always an option. However, there are some things to keep in mind when selling online.
The website will usually charge you a fee to list your classified ad. EBay will take a percentage of the sale as a commission. The only website that doesn’t charge anything is Facebook, but there aren’t that many trustworthy Rolex buyers on the social media platform. Also, keep in mind that writing the in-depth description of your watch and taking some professional photos from all angles will also require time and effort.
Couldn’t You Just Pawn It?
Of course, you could always go to one of the many pawn shops in New York City and pawn your Rolex watch. The problem is that you won’t get anywhere near its real value. In 95% of the cases, they will not evaluate it correctly. If you want to get it back, you will have to pay a lot more than what they gave you in the first place. To be honest, pawn shops are not your best option when it comes to selling a luxury Rolex timepiece. Why lose money when you have a third, better option?
