Unusual Investment – Preowned Luxury Watches

May 19, 2019 2 Comments

I wrote about investing in paintings, rare wines and even printer toners as part of unusual investment/side hustle options series, here’s one more – investing in luxury watches, And to make it more simple, we will talk about only pre-owned watches here so that the barrier to entry is reduced for most investors.

It is every collector’s dream to own a luxury watch at one point in time. But the tricky thing about luxury watches is this- they are extremely expensive.

So buying a piece of art is an investment. Buying a rare wine is an investment.

Similarly, there’s another class of investment, investing in web properties or websites. You don’t have to start a site from scratch, you buy sites that are already profitable. When I started this blog, I started this site from start. I bought the domain name and now slowly this is becoming a brand. One Cent at a Time is growing in terms of valuation. I am now in a position to sell this site for a very good amount. How much I invested, just $100. But I did put in a lot of sweat equity in it over the last 4 years.

Here’s a guest post from George about investing in digital assets, such as web sites. Enjoy the post, and don’t forget to read my post on starting a self hosted blog in 20 minutes.
