Questions and Answers
What if my watch sells above the guaranteed minimum price?
Most of the time, this is exactly what happens. Our commission is 15% of the sale price. The rest goes to you. You don’t spend an extra cent on shipping, processing, authentication, appraisal, marketing, or transaction fees. It’s all included in out standard rate!
What if my watch doesn’t sell within 30 days?
Don’t worry! If we don’t sell your watch within 30 days, we’ll step in and buy the watch ourselves! We’ll pay you the guaranteed minimum price, less a $99 service charge for fine-tuning, cleaning, and taking professional photos of your watch.
Do you offer consignment for all watches?
ART Watches only accepts watches that meet our professional standards, including:
- Good working condition
- No counterfeit parts
- No indication of being stolen
- Good fit for our clientele
Is the preliminary quote a guarantee?
No. When we receive your watch, we will examine it for undisclosed problems and flaws. If it is not as described, we reserve the right to modify our offer or return the watch.
How is the list price determined? Who handles negotiations?
ART Watches will set the list price of the watch and handle all negotiations with prospective buyers. Rest assured, we will only sell the watch at or above the guaranteed minimum price.
Will my watch be safe going through transit?
Yes, when you use our prepaid shipping label, your package will be fully trackable and insured up to the agreed upon price.
What if I want the watch back?
If you have not yet shipped the watch to us:
No problem. Simply notify us so that we can cancel the shipping label.
If you’ve already shipped the watch but it has not yet been sold:
When we take watches in for consignment, we immediately incur various costs related to authentication, photography, stocking, and other business activities. For this reason, if you cancel the consignment after shipping the watch, you will be required to pay a cancellation fee of 7.5% plus shipping expenses.
If the watch has been sold:
Unfortunately, there is no way to return your watch once it has been sold to a new owner.
General note:
Canceling the consignment of your watch after initiating the process can involve significant costs. Please only consign your watch when you are committed.
