4.1      General Overview

This Section 4 describes the process for selling your item to us.

If you’re considering selling an item of yours to us, the first step is to supply us with a description and/or a image of the item you would like to sell and request a quote setting forth the amount we are willing to pay for such item. Upon providing us with such description and/or image, we may (i) provide you with a quote, (ii) contact you to request additional information about the item in order to provide a quote or adjust a quote already given, or (iii) notify you that we are not interested in buying the item. If and once we have provided you with a quote, you may then offer to sell us your item at the quoted price. In such case, we will send a Special Delivery Watch Pack to an address you have provided which must be in the United States of America. Upon receipt of your item(s), we will inspect it, and following such inspection, we may (i) accept your offer to sell us your item at the quoted price, (ii) reject the item and send it back to you or (iii) provide you with a revised quote based on our inspection.  If we provide you with a revised quote, you may choose to offer us the item for sale at the revised quote or request that the item be sent back to you.

If (i) we accept your offer to sell your item to us at the original quote or (ii) after inspection of your item we provide you with a revised quote, and you accept the revised quote, we will send you payment for the item pursuant to payment instructions provided by you.

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, a “Day” shall mean a period of twenty four (24) hours beginning from the time of the triggering event. For example, in the event that notification (a triggering event) is given at 1 p.m., a 10 day period will expire at 1 p.m. on the tenth day.
4.2      Quote

To request a quote (Quote) of what price we are willing to pay you (Quote Price) to purchase an item (Sale Item) you want to sell us, you will provide us with a complete and accurate description of the Sale Item and / or a clear photograph of the Sale Item.  If we require further information before we can give you a Quote, or in order to re-evaluate a Quote we have already provided, we will inform you via email or telephone number(s) provided by you. After receiving such further information, we may provide you with a Quote, if one was not initially provided, confirm the Quote we have already provided or adjust the Quote we have already provided by providing a Revised Quote (as defined below).

By requesting a Quote, you represent and warrant to us that the statements made in Section 9.2 below are true and correct.

The decision of whether to provide you with a Quote and the amount of such Quote is at our sole discretion.  We may decide to not supply you with a Quote for any reason or for no reason.

The Quote is provided to you for the purposes of selling your item to us via our site. You may not use the Quote for any other purpose nor may you rely on the Quote for any other matter, including without limitation, for insurance purposes. The Quote is calculated by our team of valuators for the purpose mentioned above and does not necessarily reflect the actual market value of the Sale Item.
4.3      Selling Your Sale Item

If you wish to sell us the Sale Item for the Quote Price you can inform us via telephone or email within 72 hours of us notifying you of the Quote Price.  If you do not notify us within 72 hours of us providing you with a Quote and then wish to proceed, we reserve the right to offer a revised Offer Price. In such case, we may, in our sole discretion, not provide you with the same Quote Price or any Quote at all.

After informing us of your decision to sell us your Sale Item for the Quote Price within the above 72 hour period, we will confirm via email or telephone that we have received your decision.  Please note that this does not mean that your offer has been accepted, and there is no obligation on our part to purchase the Sale Item.
4.4      Pickup of Your Sale Item

After informing us that you wish to sell us the Sale Item, you will provide us with details of the address to which we will send a FED-EX Special Delivery pre-paid bag and details of your chosen method of payment for receipt of the Quote Price in the event that we accept your offer to sell us the Sale Item. The Sale Item will be sent only from an address in the United States of America.
4.5      Packaging

It is your sole responsibility to appropriately package the Sale Item and to ensure that the Sale Item is suitably packaged before being placed in the pre-paid FED-EX Special Delivery bag provided by Us. In packaging the Sale Item you will give due consideration to the type and nature of the Sale Item particularly in terms of its handling, loading and transporting. For example, fragile Sale Items should be packaged in wooden or plastic boxes. It shall also be your responsibility to properly label the package and to provide instructions to Us for the proper and careful handling of the Sale Item. We will not be responsible for any damage caused to a Sale Item that was not properly packaged by you.
4.6      Shipping Process and Costs

If, prior to or after delivery to our address of the Sale Item by FED-EX, you are contacted by Us at any time you must contact us as soon as practicable to inform us of the details of such contact.

The contents of the Special Delivery bag provided by us are insured by Us from the point of reception of the Special Delivery bag by FED-EX up to the point of signed for confirmation of delivery by Us to Our address.
4.7      Our Receipt of the Sale Item and Inspection

On receipt of the Sale Item, we will video record the opening of the package the Sale Item has arrived in and the removal of the Sale Item from its package.  The video recording will be used to assist in verifying the content of the package sent by you to us.  We will inspect and test the Sale Item following receipt.  If the results of such inspection or testing cause us to be of the opinion that the Sale Item does not conform or is unlikely to conform with any description, specification or picture supplied by you to us or with any assumptions based on which we provided the Quote Price, we shall inform you and we shall be entitled to avail ourselves of any one or more of the remedies contained at Section 4.10.

In order to verify the condition of a Sale Item or the material from which a Sale Item may be made, it may be necessary for us to conduct certain tests on the Sale Item. Such tests may result in some markings left on the Sale Item or some minimal wear to the item. You hereby agree that if the Sale Item is returned to you, we will not held be responsible for any damage to the Sale Item or loss suffered by you as a result of the testing process. By way of example, if the Sale Item is a wrist watch, its inspection and / or testing may involve it being opened.  By opening a water resistant watch there is a risk that following its inspection and / or testing the watch will no longer be water resistant.  If the watch is returned to you, we strongly advise you to replace the seal that prevents water from entering the watch or not expose the watch to water.  We are not responsible for any losses you suffer (directly or indirectly) if such losses result from a watch no longer being water resistant after our inspection and / or testing of it.
4.8      Acceptance, Rejection or Revising the Quote Price

4.8.1         accept your offer to sell us the Sale Item at the Quote Price and send you payment;

4.8.2         reject the Sale Item and arrange for its return to you; or

The contract between us (Sale) will only be formed when we send you such confirmation (Acceptance Confirmation) that we shall purchase the Sale Item at the Quote Price.

If, following our inspection of the Sale Item, we provide you with a Revised Quote Price, a contract will only be formed upon your acceptance of such Revised Quote Price. See Sections 4.10 – 4.12 below.

The Sale will only relate to the Sale Item referred to in the Acceptance Confirmation.  The Sale Item may be referred to by description or by reference to a unique number assigned to it.

4.10    Rejection; Revised Quote Price

4.10.1      reject the Sale Item and return it to you; or

4.10.2      provide you with a Revised Quote Price.
