WTT (Want To Trade)

Why it matters

WTT (Want To Trade) signals a poster looking to swap watches rather than sell for cash. Trades are common in active communities because they let collectors rotate without taking the spread hit of selling and rebuying. A good WTT post states what is offered, what is wanted, and whether cash can move either direction to balance values.

Trades carry the same risks as sales, doubled, because both sides ship a watch. Use a middleman or strong references on both ends, and agree in writing on condition, accessories, and any cash adjustment before anything ships.

Common questions

How do watch trades stay safe?
