I sold my 42mm Silver Sport on Craiglist earlier this week for $640. Was really easy. It was opened, too (I wore it for a week before deciding I wanted the SS AW).
Why is that the right thing?
I'd rather sell it to someone who really wants one now...
Ebay or CL seem to be easy sales. Received $850 for a 42mm Space Grey sport watch and $1250 on eBay for 42mm SS with Mal loop.
Sure CL has it's risks but with a few common sense rules to meet someone it's not a huge deal. On the flip side yes, eBay will hit you for 10% seller fee so your going to want to think about that before pricing.
On CL you should be able to get at least $700 for that watch. Don't listen to low ballers here. eBay likely see $750 to $800 but you will only see 90% of the sale due to the eBay seller fee.

It's his property to do with how he wants. He doesn't have it on loan from Apple.
I didn't even know there was a marketplace here. Thanks! I was just able to get a 42mm Milanese from someone there for $850 shipped. Should be here tomorrow.

It won't let me access the marketplace...
Been lurking on this site since the turn of the century and had no idea there was a marketplace. Dang I should have registered 15 years ago, lol.
Swappa or CL
Not only will ebay take a 10% fee unless you have an established selling history PayPal will hold your money for up to 21 days (i think)

Can't believe somebody would pay $550 over the regular price because they don't want to wait a month. They could have paid someone to stay up late on April 10th and pre-order for them.
When selling my phones, I use Swappa exclusively. They take 10 bucks flat and then PayPal is 3%. Good on the wallet and the people seem to be pretty good. Haven't had a bad experience yet.
The people paying much higher prices are international buyers who have a harder time getting their hands on 1. I ended up with an extra and sold it for $800 to someone in Kuwait. Of course after paying Paypal, ebay fees I only ended up with something like 685... ebay is out of control with their rates these days... especially with their double dip via Paypal (ebay owns Paypal).
EDIT: Forgot to mention that Paypal also charges an extra 1% to your account for international buyers paying from a foreign bank. Something I discovered after I sold the watch of course... another 8 bucks lost.

I'd recommend Craigslist. I've sold a few high value items on eBay with no problems, but man, if you just google eBay Paypal scam etc. you will see so many horror stories it just freaks me out. It seems so easy to get scammed of your item.
The chances of getting fake cash are much less likely, IMO. I sold my 42mm space grey for $650 (sealed), wasn't planning on selling it and was gonna return it but someone offered how could I say no?!
CL it!
