| Post subject: | Why did my CA not Sell? |
Hi Guys Just some hints and tips required. I am selling my awesome CA and thought that it would sell no problem at around the £1,600 mark, it it in very good condition has the titanium bracelet and the white face. I was happy to buy in the same condition (I bought it preowned) for £1,895 from a jeweler in my area last October so was confident that I would get a similar figure. Am I asking for too much if so what should I be asking for this model? Thanks John |

Can't really comment on UK prices, but it's a very different economy than it was even last October. |

Since you bought it from a jeweler, you probably paid a bit more than if you had bought it privately. Couple with the current economic state as Roff mentioned.. Did you at least get any lower offers? |

Five watchers but no bids The economy over here is strange at the moment however there does seem to be cash flying around at the same time. I will relist and see what happens It would be good to know I am ot letting it go too cheaply especially as the AD will not drop there price so much. Cheers John |

Have you listed in in the various sales fora? A lot of people dont bother with ebay any more and just cruise the watch sites. |

agreed! I would post here before ebay! or do both! I think that sometimes you just need to give it a little time on here before going to the bay! |

The second hand watch market is totally dead at the moment. I think people just have other priorities in the current economic climate. And the more expensive the watch is, the worse the problem becomes. I can't give my Le Mans away at the moment...... and technically it should be a very desirable piece. (OK so I could probably GIVE It away, but you get the idea!) |

My local Costco has a white dial Chrono Avenger, with tan calf, for around £1600 New. I recently sold my CA with ProI for £1150 - so yes, you need to adjust your price. |

I'm looking at a completely different part of the watch market right now as a buyer and the prices are ridiculous. Using a price guide from just a couple of months ago I am seeing pieces selling for 25 - 30% below guide for comparable conditions. The only pieces that seem to be holding up reasonably well are very high end and precious metals. |

Thanks all and with that in mind I have listed for a much reduced price £1350 and will not let it go for less, I would rather keep it than let it go for less and let it stay on the winder. Cheers all John |

A couple months ago, there was a mint white dial CA on the forums for weeks. If I remember correctly he started at $1800usd and kept dropping his price. I offered him $1450, and he declined, until a week later he contacted me and said he would accept my offer out of desperation to sell. A year ago your watch was worth $1800-2000. In this market, you are likely looking at $1400-1600. Good luck with the sale. |
