What is watch consignment?
Exploring options to sell your watch safely, quickly and for the best price probably brought you to this question: What is watch consignment?
Put simply, you hand your watch to a professional to sell on your behalf. The expert will tap into their market knowledge and expansive customer database to attempt to sell the watch at the price you want.
The terms of the agreement will be decided from the start, which covers the commission rate and timings of the payout.
How does it work?
- You hand your watch to Trilogy and tell us what price you’re looking for.
- We advertise your consignment watch online and in person, to thousands of our customers.
- We sell the watch for as much as possible, always aiming for more than your desired price.
- We pay you and we keep a 15% commission rate.
- If the watch doesn’t sell, we terminate the agreement and return the watch to you. This won’t cost you anything.
The pitfalls of selling your own watch
Navigating the sale of luxury watches is tricky. It’s like throwing a dart at a moving target of Instagram hashtags, photography, online forums, marketplaces, time-wasters, technology, auction houses and negotiations.
You’re also up against the threat of online scams: TSB research found that Facebook Marketplace scams cost UK customers almost £60 million in 2023.
Even if you find a legitimate buyer, it helps to have an understanding of the marketplace so you know you’re getting the price you deserve. Prices have been in flux over the last few years and keeping track is a full-time job.
Luckily, that’s our job. Sell your watch on consignment and we’ll do the legwork for you.
