very helpful im trying to get into buying and selling watches, ive always liked watches since i was young and i have been getting into it more

[@HobbyOfHours]

Sweet. You make your money when you buy the watch, not when you sell. Invest in a timegrapher, Weishi 1000, off Amazon. A must. Sell on forums as opposed to ebay, they take 15% off the top. Chrono24 is better but forums best. It's a "buyer's" market at the moment, not a seller's market. Lastly, there are fakes up and down the price spectrum so buy carefully. Best wishes to you!!

This is some excellent content! I recommend showing a bit more pictures but other than that, keep it up!

Thank you for taking the time to share the feedback! Best, D

[@anderssvensson4554]

Great points. 👍 I find that many sellers dont specify the time keeping. Also not when the watch was first purchased from store. As a buyer I shouldn’t have to ask. //

Thank you for the kind feedback! Agreed, if something is known, no reason not to share it. it can only help the sale. cheers, D

Thank you for the video. Going to start selling on eBay for the first time so this video was perfect timing for me. What can I do to prevent buyers being weary to purchase from me since I don’t really have any ratings on the site.

[@HobbyOfHours]

Most welcome. Begin building up your feedback by buying via ebay. That way you will establish yourself on the platform. Don't bother listing items for sale until you have a least 30+ feedback rating. Why? I would never buy from any seller with low feedback, too many scammers. It will take time but it is the only way to begin building trust. My two cents! Best, D

New sub here..... I have a question: do I need to get the battery replaced to sell the watch? I have a few old watches that don't run right now.

[@HobbyOfHours]

Hey Gina! Thanks for coming along on the ride, glad to have you here. I would definitely get fresh batteries put into the watches. Why? Perception. You want your buyers to know the watch is fully functional, that if one of them is a quartz chronograph that the hands are all aligned (something you can do if they are not). Right now, you don't know if they all work....they probably do, but you need to be sure. Never let anything miniscule stand in the way of you making a sale OR getting max value. Now here is the bad/good part....batteries are super cheap (often less than $2 dollars each) and are *mostly* easy to replace on your own vs. paying someone at the mall $12.00 - $15.00 each to do it for you. If you only have one or two to sell and this is a one and done effort for you, pay someone to do it. Otherwise you may want to take your hand at doing it. If you are in LA or Tennessee I can point you to someone who will do the batteries at a cheap price. Let me know! All the best, D

@@HobbyOfHours Thanks so much for your help! I'm in south Florida.

[@HobbyOfHours]

@@GinaCloutier-v4n Got it. In that case, handle it locally. Any "mall" grade watchmaker store can replace *most* batteries. How many watches do you have and what make/model?

[@GinaCloutier-v4n]

@@HobbyOfHours I have a few, one of them is a Seiko men's watch. I have a couple of places I can go to for reasonably priced watch repair and batteries.

[@HobbyOfHours]

@@GinaCloutier-v4n Cool. In that case, get'er done. Call them ahead of time, let them know you are looking to build a relationship with them as your watchmaker and you've got (3), (5) watches needing batteries. You know that batteries cost $2-3 a piece AND that their time is "worth" paying for to have it done. And you're hoping for a group discount. If you get out of their at $7.00 per watch I'd be happy with that. Let me know how it goes. Cheers, D
