Why Council?

Seamless convenience of a white-glove service

  • Avoid dealing with lowball offers, endless back and forth with dealers, and coordinating logistics

  • We handle the complete process from start to finish

Our mission is to secure the highest price

  • While dealers simply make an offer based on what they are willing to pay, we provide a full market analysis of your watch to determine the highest possible price

  • Over 100 dealers compete to purchase your watch, driving the highest price

  • Council is not the buyer - we do not profit more when you sell for less

Fair and simple fees

  • Traditional sales methods like auction houses have fees of up to 20%+

  • Council’s fees are 0.5% to 1% to the seller and 2% to the buyer

FAQ

  • We purposely have not asked our past clients for public reviews because many of them prefer to handle these transactions discreetly. We understand this may give new sellers some pause.

    We guarantee secure transactions by only allowing trusted, longstanding dealers to purchase your watch. These are businesses with flawless track records so you can rest assured that they will pay the agreed upon amount for your watch within 24 hours of delivery.

    Also, the watch and funds are sent directly between you and the dealer. Council only acts as the intermediary to facilitate the negotiations. We eliminate any security risk that we could pose by removing ourselves from any part of the exchange.

  • Absolutely. Your Council concierge will be happy to provide you with a detailed overview of the watch, it’s history, and a market value assessment.

  • Absolutely. While the original papers of a watch can add significant value, they are not necessary to sell a watch.
