Watch consignment
How it works
Consignment gives you the facility to sell your watch in our ‘shop window’.
This in turn gives you the ability to obtain a higher sale price for your timepiece rather than when looking to sell outright to us.
When buying a timepiece from a member of the public we need to buy the piece in to stock at a price that allows us to resell the watch to the next person at a profit.
Watches that come into us require authentication, workshop, cleaning, and marketing. All this must be factored into the price in which we offer you for us to then sell the watch on whilst achieving our required margins.
Consigning to us means we don’t have to pay out in full for the watch, which makes our job easier and less of a risk to us.
Less of a risk to us means more of a reward to you!
How consignment works with The Watch Boutique
After completing the consignment form one of our sales team will be in touch.We will go through the details of your consignment and between both parties agree on a realistic sales price. At The Watch Boutique we price our watches to sell, so if we don't think you are realistic with your pricing we will not consign your watch.
We will then require the watch to be posted to us or dropped into one of our 3 locations:
- London
- Liverpool
- Glasgow
The Watch Boutique charge a 8% as a consignment fee. This can be negotiable on larger sales.
We require a minimum of 180 days on consignment with 30 days notice for withdrawal.
A minimum fee of 4% of the agreed price is applicable for any consignment when the watch is withdrawn within the first 90 days of consignment.
A minimum fee of 2% of the agreed price is applicable for any consignment when the watch is withdrawn within the last 90 days of consignment.
In addition, any costs incurred by Us throughout the consignment period will require to be paid in full before release.
A minimum fee of £200 is applicable for any consignment taken back after the 180-day term, regardless of the sale outcome.
Fees must be paid in full before the timepiece is released back to the consignee.
We require seven days to return Your consignment to you.
If you require Your consignment within seven days an additional £200 is applicable.
Example: Agreed net return of £10,000 is equivalent to a minimum sale price of £10,800.
