Why our offer may differ from “ask” prices

  1. Asking price ≠ market value. Marketplace “asks” are negotiated down. Overpriced watches sit, so true sale prices are lower.
  2. Platform fees are real. Most platforms charge about 6–9% when an item sells.
  3. We prep to our standard. Many watches need polishing, regulation/servicing, pressure testing, plus insured shipping for online sales.
Example: $10,000 listing price → realistic net
Marketplace ask$10,000
Negotiated sale (−10%)$9,000
Fees (−8%)−$720
Prep/Service/Insurance (est.)−$300 to −$800
Dealer net before overhead$7,480–$7,980

Your cash offer must account for these costs and a fair retail margin.
