Free tool · No account required
A gap between the asking price and resale price is only the start. Work out what remains after fees and costs, then find the most you can pay for your target return.
Start with the hypothetical example below, then enter your own numbers. All amounts are in USD.
What you would pay for the watch.
Your expected sale price, before selling fees.
Your combined marketplace and payment fee rate.
Total shipping and insurance you expect to pay.
Service, authentication, purchase tax, and contingency.
Your target return on purchase price plus fixed costs.
The numbers after costs
Estimated net profit
$1,000.00
11.9% ROI on $8,400.00 of cash cost.
Calculated from your assumptions. Figures are rounded for display; the maximum buy price is rounded down to the nearest cent.
ChronoScout brings listing analysis, deal comparisons, and a saved pipeline into one place. Create an account to choose a plan or request pilot access.
These calculations use the assumptions you enter. The starting example is hypothetical and does not describe an actual watch, market price, or available deal.
An asking price is not a completed sale. Before buying, check comparable watches with the same reference, condition, and box and papers. Use a resale assumption you can support, and allow for negotiation and time to sell.
Enter the fee rate for your actual selling channel. This tool uses one percentage of the resale price; tiered fees, minimum fees, and tax treatment can change the result. Add applicable purchase tax, authentication, and other fixed expenses under service and other costs.
