While the internet has come a long way in terms of Re-Commerce (think eBay, Craigslist, Gazelle.com, etc), these options are intended for selling small inexpensive items (think iPhones, Beanie Babies, etc). But what about an individual selling an item over $1,000 (think watches, jewelry, wine collections, etc). Unfortunately, with the limited options out there, these individuals either will be unsuccessful in selling it, or they will get pennies on the dollar for it. Which is why most people revert to going to the local retailer and accepting extremely low offers.
Here is why – would you buy a $10,000 watch from a person on eBay with 5 rankings? Of course not.
Crown & Caliber started 18 months ago to help people selling expensive items. It started with one single category – watches. Near the end of the year, Crown & Caliber intends to enter other categories as well.
Crown & Caliber makes it easy to sell a watch for the highest value possible with our “E-Signment” service. We will provide you with actual historical sales data for your watch and use such data to provide you with an estimated selling price. If you agree with the estimate, we will send you prepaid and insured packaging materials for you to ship your watch to our facility. Once received, we will clean, service, professionally photograph, warranty and list your watch on multiple sites, as well as proactively market it to our subscriber list of over 50,000 watch enthusiasts and our network of over 300 dealers. Over a 60 day period, we will guarantee you an offer for your watch within its original estimate. We have modernized the consignment process so that your watch will be seen by thousands of potential buyers, thereby ensuring the highest price possible for your watch.
We are not an auction house. We are not a buyer. We are the solution.
