Where to Sell Compared
Each selling channel trades fees for audience quality differently. Here is the honest comparison.
Channel Comparison
| Channel | Fees | Audience | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watch forums | Usually free | Enthusiasts who value honesty | Builds, community pieces |
| r/Watchexchange | Free | Large, mixed experience | Mainstream models |
| eBay | ~13%+ | Huge, protection-heavy | Maximum reach, higher fees |
| Chrono24 | ~6.5% | Watch-specific buyers | Quality pieces worth the fee |
| Local cash sale | Free | Tiny, immediate | Quick moves, no shipping risk |
Matching Piece to Channel
- Custom builds: forums — buyers there understand component value (see our build selling guide)
- Mainstream complete watches: eBay or Chrono24 reach matters more than fee savings
- Budget pieces: forum/local — fees eat thin margins otherwise
