Best place to sell fast without insanely high fees or low ballers?
Ive been looking to sell my first piece and have tried different Facebook groups and forums just to be met with a bunch of lowball “wholesalers” who are offering me less than 1/2 of what Breitling and crown n caliber are offering ($7700) There are only 3 others for sale and they range from $9000 to $12000. I have mine priced at $9500 since it is in mint condition. I’m open to hearing other offers or trades but where would be the best place to do that as I need it sold by Thursday.

Welcome to WC. Such a cool watch and good luck finding a home for it. I would take the $7700 immediately from C&C and call it a day if time is of the essence. Honestly, that is good offer in this market. Sadly (and respectfully), at your price there is a reason it is not selling. None of the prices on Chrono or other places are what the pieces actually sell for, so when dealing with a limited edition, it is only as good as the market, which is not great, especially when they made so many vartiations of this and one can get an almost identical version for $6500 from a reputable dealer backed by eBay and PayPal. Which would you pick as a buyer? I realize it is not the 1 of 200 variant, but for someone just wanting the watch, they are going to look for value and safety vs. a stranger on the internet.
If you have the time, you can go the WUS and Breitling forums route, but as you saw in the FB groups, good chance you will be dealing with lowballs and wholesalers. How much is your time and risk going to be worth? Maybe you will get lucky and someone here will take the risk. GLWS.
I hate to, but I have to agree with @AllTheWatches here. Even WatchCharts shows many listings above $7800 as unsold. Hope you find a buyer, but might want to consider taking your previous offer. This one pulled from Rolex Forum via Charts, a few other listed from WUS and Reddit.
I third @AllTheWatches
Fourth this. In the current market the $7700 is a great offer. Chrono24 prices are delusional fantasy. What a beautiful piece though. Good luck and hopefully you get this sold to your satisfaction soon.
