Consigned Watches

If your kids aren't interested in your watches and you're worried that they'll be parted out after being auctioned off somewhere, then consign them here with us. We take the photos, write up the listing, screen potential buyers and ship when you say so.

Terms and Conditions

Collectors To Collectors

The concept is simple - we're providing a safe forum for collectors to sell or trade with other collectors, away from the parasites who melt down and part out antique timepieces, and the auction houses that will knowingly sell your watches to them. We are simply acting as the middleman, connecting both seller and buyer, and are unaware of any service histories and assume no responsibility in any transaction.

Terms and Conditions

Buying

Just send a note through the Contact page and let us know which watch you're interested in. We'll pass your email on to the owner and let the two of you work out the price and talk it over, so anticipate haggling and questions. We'll ship it to you via the US Postal Service with tracking after the owner lets us know that an agreement has been reached and payment has been received.

 

  • All watches are in as is condition. None of them have been timed, none have been serviced (unless noted), there are no implied warranties, and any service histories belong to the seller. We can give opinions based on external visual clues only.
  • The buyer pays all shipping and handling charges, and remember that once the watch is in the hands of the US Postal Service it's out of ours. Whatever arrangement is reached with the owner, the buyer is still responsible for any related shipping costs.
  • We would of course urge you to have any watch serviced or restored here since we maintain this page as a free service to our customers, though we assume no responsibility for any transactions and are simply acting as an intermediary.
  • All photographs are protected by copyright and may not uploaded or used elsewhere without permission.

Consigning

Write us with photos of your watch, which should be original, exceptional or rare because this page is to prevent special watches from being parted out, and uncommon pieces will naturally generate more interest. After we agree to accept your watch, you ship it here, where we take the listing photos, write the description, and add the listing to the website. We forward any inquiries to you and let you take it from there.

 

  • This is a free service for all previous and current customers with no time limit, as long as the new owner has the watch serviced or restored here. If the new owner does not have the watch serviced here then the fee is $35.
  • For newcomers, the fee is $35 per watch with a limit of 3 months, regardless if it sells or not. Simply installing a crystal for you on your watch doesn't make you a customer.
  • Sell to whomever you're most comfortable, and we will ship to the buyer only after we get the all-clear from you.
  • Cancel the listing whenever you wish and simply pay the return shipping.
