Curious about how we can help you sell watches for cash online? Let’s go through your options for selling. We know you have options, and are happy to help you find the best one by laying out the pros and cons—plus how different buyers determine the value of your luxury watch. We’ll also walk you through the process Worthy uses to sell your watch and how it safeguards your valuables while getting you a fair price.

Where Can I Sell Watches?

Luxury watches are timeless pieces that are always in fashion. Selling watches you don’t need can be a great idea when looking to liquidate assets. But how can you go about selling yours? What are your options when you want to sell watches for cash?

We know you want to find the best offer for your luxury watches. But with the value of jewelry constantly fluctuating, it is often difficult to know if an offer is fair or not. You have a few options for finding a buyer for your watch, but you need to be very careful when choosing where to sell.

Here are a few options for selling your watch and things to consider with each:

  • Local jewelry stores - Local stores are certainly trustworthy, but their priorities may not reflect your best interests. For one, their selling prices reflect retail prices, which are marked up significantly. When local jewelers buy pieces like a branded watch, they will normally sell them to a dealer, who will then sell them to a wholesaler. Watch shop owners have a business to run and may not profit from buying your watch, especially if you have no plans to immediately replace it. While convenient and local, the jewelry store down the block won’t get you the most competitive prices.

  • Consignment Shops - - While consignment shops are easy to find, you will often need to pay a high consignment rate and the sale can often take a long time. In addition, it is crucial to research the shop’s reputation and reliability.

  • Pawnshops - Pawnshops are good for quick cash, but not value. A pawn shop can be a fast option but don’t expect high returns.

  • eBay - Many people turn to eBay to sell a watch online. But with an average of one million jewelry items on sale at any given moment, plus the risk of being scammed, you won’t get great value or security, and it won’t be sold with expert supervision.

  • Auction - Selling at an auction house puts your luxury watch in front of not just one interested buyer but multiple buyers who are bidding on an item they are interested in and driving up the price. Plus, you benefit from the oversight of experts, who will verify the value of the watch and prevent fraud and scams.
