Tips for selling a Rolex

[jeffobranovich]

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums. I am seeking advice on selling a Rolex. It looks like according to forum rules there is some criteria to meet before posting up a watch for sale. Any advice for listing a Rolex watch online? I plan on having good quality pictures with high resoultion available to be emailed. I have all the orignal documents and box. I also have the certifcate that came with the watch.

If I had a watch I wanted to sell, I would look at the sale forum here and see how the trusted sellers present their watches. That would be a good start.

It would also give you an idea of what is considered a reasonable price.

make you do you not price yourself out of the market.

Unless you are priced right you wont get any interest from all of the educated buyers on TRF

Are you saying that you're not going to post photos, just make them available for email? If so, I would suggest just posting them. Also, don't focus on taking super high resolution photos - focus on getting good quality macro shots of every facet of the watch. Unfortunately, some high resolution photo simply lack the detail necessary to see what's really going on. The Trusted Sellers on this forum do a very good job with their marco shots.

Being a new seller, make sure you very explicitly indicate terms. You may have to provide references as you don't have a post history.

It would be best if you have a track record of selling something of similar or equal value that can be verified by a potential buyer. Any high-cost sales online require trust, and a seller without references and a online footprint that can be checked out will be at an extreme disadvantage.

I believe you need to post the pics here when it is listed.

Established TRF member with proven track record is a requirement for many of us.

you might want to reconsider that

If you don't have photos on your FS thread you will get by the mods

Yes, I meant in addition to a lower resolution picture (which will be posted with the listing), I will have higher resolution shots available.

Thanks for all the tips!

Macro shots are a good idea! I should be able to get good close-ups with my Nikon D5100 in macro mode.
