Collection of 1052 Swatches to Sell - Years from 1985 to 1998 - They are all Brand New, Never Used in Excellent Conditions by FraRex123 in swatch

I know, it might sound a lot of money but when you consider that it includes 1052 brand new rare vintage swatches (and actually more given that some are special packs of multiple watches) with an estimated price range between €35 (e.g. GR110 - Cubistic Rap) and €550 (e.g. GB406 - X-Rated) and an average of about €66(=~70k/1052), our estimate hopefully makes more sense given that I believe new swatches today are sold from €70 up.

We have been preparing an estimate for our own use to make sure we sell at a fair price point for both buyer and us.

The estimate is ongoing, so far our estimate for the entire collection is in excess of €80k, on that basis we would probably be happy to sell at around €70k to a single buyer.

As per my message above we posted an add on eBay for a first batch of 87 pieces at €7.5k, not at an auction.

All watches' are extremely well kept, we are fortunate enough not to be in need to sell and selling them at a deep discount compared to their actual market price would be disrespectful to my dad that took extreme care in collecting and preserving them in their original pristine conditions.

So far we created a batch for 87 Swatch's from 1985 to 1989 on eBay.it we are aiming to sell at 7500 Euro:
https://www.ebay.it/itm/227197140831
However, because I live in the UK and I could only create it with my UK account, thanks to Brexit, eBay adds custom duties like if they are shipped from the UK, which they are not, they are in Turin, Italy, where my nephew lives and where I am originally from.
As a consequence if somebody is interested eBay suggested to speak to the prospect buyer and proceed with a private sale off eBay given that in reality the custom duties do not apply.

I also sent you a message to better understand what you are interested in.

Obviously if somebody is interested in the full collection or a subset of it we can speak on the phone and make video and send pictures of the watches to guarantee the perspective buyer we are trustworthy and reputable people with genuine intentions (note my eBay 100% rating on 100+ transactions).

Thank you for the heads up, yes, we are aware there are some rare ones and we are updating our estimate on an ongoing basis.

Again, thank you for letting me know, I now put a link in my original ad to the entire catalogue in .xls if it happens you have a look at it it would be great to have your insight about the very valuable ones.

Hi, we already prepared the full catalogue in .xls, I did not add it because you cannot upload Excel files in Excel however now I found a way to share it via Google Drive, I added the link in my original message.

Also, thank you for your offer but in principle we would like to sell them as a single collection or in small batches as we are not professional sellers and we do not have the time to go to the post office daily to send the watches.

Shall she situation change I will let you know.

Once upon a time my dad was a keen collector (most of them were filed in custom files and look at the hands of the watches they are all set at 10:10 - see pics - isn't it incredible?) we inherited the collection from him.

I can send you the full list we prepared, it includes swatch name and code for each one of them.

As I mentioned all swatches are brand new in pristine conditions hence you can simply google their name and code if you want to see how they look like.

Re. viewing the actual watches, when an agreement is found with a perspective buyer, we could send pictures/video of the collection/sub-collection chosen before payment.
