Would you sell your Panerai to a second hand shop or risk an internet sale?

Would you, for a difference of a thousand dollars, sell your Panerai watch to a second watch shop, or risk the (chance of) hassle of internet trading ???? Any of you have experience in selling your PAMS to a second watch shop or internet selling? Please share your experiences.....

I would like to know too. How much would I loss if I sell my Rolex to a watch shop, read some articles that says 20-30%

Depends on who gives the highest offer. Internet sales not necessarily the best deal, especially for "commodity" pieces. I sold a PAM to a shop at a few hundred higher than the offers online. And a friend sold his Rolex also at higher prices than offered here.

If you're holding on to a not so mainstream piece, it's generally better to sell on forum but have to wait out for the right buyer who appreciates the watch.

I also wanna knw which shop offers the best price, but seems difficult. cos they also need to make profit, I think if wanna offload the watch urgent, prepared that the dealer will slashed easily 20% or more off....

Selling off the internet definitely gets you a better price... cash trade upon meet up near a bank to deposit and tabulate, safe and sound!

Definitely try online first.

Another alternative to selling direct to shop is to put it up for consignment.

I agree. If you've a unique piece, the stores may offer you a low price because it's not so easy to sell. But a private buyer may offer you a higher price because it is not so easy to find.

Internet sale. Buyers will have to cut you to make profit for themselves

Selling online frist then if you can't the shop is the last option.
The shop always buy at lower online price and sell at higher price.
