Here are some other tips for success from the experts at Thollot & Co.:

1) Post great pictures. Bring your jewelry to Thollot & Co. for a complimentary cleaning and bring out the most dazzling qualities of your piece. Use a white background for your images to highlight its features. Try different filters on your phone or camera to increase the exposure and capture the sparkle of your jewelry.

2) Post all corresponding documents. Make sure any potential buyers can view relevant receipts, appraisals and certifications.

3) List your jewelry at about 60% of the original price. Most people who are purchasing previously owned jewelry expect significant savings, so don’t price yourself out of the market.

4) Re-post daily.Remove and re-post your listing every day so that it stays at the top of the page. Consider reducing the price every few days until you get responses from buyers. Once you’ve determined the right price point, you can compare it to offers from retailers. (More information on that below.)

5) Meet in public. Make it clear in your post that you will only meet in public. You can use language like “Meet me at my local jeweler” to weed out scammers and stay safe. Thollot & Co. is happy to be your safe place to meet a potential buyer — just let us know your plans when you arrive. Remember, we offer a complimentary cleaning service, so arrive early and we can polish up your piece so it’s ready to impress.
