SECURE SHIPPING
Once you accept our offer, we will send you a security-sealed package to safely pack your watch. We will arrange pickup on a day of your choice – fully insured, of course.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Consignment or Direct Sale – Simple, Transparent & Secure with pre-owned.ch
What can I sell through pre-owned.ch?
Which items do you accept? We accept luxury watches and designer bags from selected brands in good to excellent condition. A full list of accepted brands is available on our website.
Can I submit damaged items? Minor signs of wear are acceptable. Heavily damaged or repair-needing items may be considered for direct purchase after individual evaluation.
Selling Options
Which selling options are available? You have two options:
Consignment Sale We handle the presentation, promotion, and sale of your item. You receive the agreed payout after deducting a fixed commission fee.
Direct Sale We make you a binding purchase offer. Once accepted and the item is successfully verified, the agreed amount will be paid directly to you.
How the process works
What does the sales process look like?
Fill out our online submission form. We evaluate your item and send you an offer. Upon agreement, you ship the item to us or request a free pick-up. For consignment: we sell it on your behalf. For direct sale: you get paid after authentication.
How long does it take to sell? – Direct sale: payout typically within 3–5 business days after inspection. – Consignment: depends on market demand, usually 2–8 weeks.
Pricing & Payout
How is the price determined? Our experts assess your item based on condition, model, market demand, and historical sales data. You'll receive a fair and transparent offer.
When will I receive my payment? – Direct sale: within 3–5 business days after successful authentication. – Consignment: after the item is sold, minus the agreed commission.
How much is the commission fee? Depending on item type and value, our commission ranges from 10–20%. The exact rate will be communicated in advance.
Security & Trust
How do you ensure authenticity? All items are professionally authenticated by our in-house experts or certified watchmakers and luxury goods specialists.
Is my item insured? Yes – your item is fully insured from the moment it is shipped or picked up by our logistics partners.
Returns & Withdrawal
What if I change my mind? You may request your item back during consignment – however, only after a minimum period of 90 days is it eligible for free return.
Can I withdraw the item earlier? Yes, but early withdrawal before the 90-day period incurs a CHF 300.– service fee plus a CHF 50.– shipping charge. These fees cover the time and resources spent on inspection, preparation, photography, listing, and delisting of your item.
What happens if the item doesn’t sell? If your item does not sell within the agreed consignment period, we will return it to you free of charge upon request.
