Watch dealers

[amyjhill 10]

Hi,

 

I am trying to sell a Longines watch and wondered if there are any places that buy or trade watches? Any suggestions would be really helpful.

 

Thanks

Amy

Have you had it valued or at least researched its value on the internet? I wouldn't dispose of it unless I was certain of its market value.

Its my dads he has a few expensive watches it has been valued at £1590 and he wants to sell and we need to find a dealer that can offer better than what has been offered for it

Ebay is very good for valuable watches.

Did think of that but wasnt sure how well valuable watches sell thanks for that

Ames the best thing to do is put into ebay the exact type of watch you have then see how much they seem to be going for, remember things are only worth what people are willing to pay,and at the moment that tends to be a lot less than say a year ago.

Good advice from Susie, dont be in a rush, then you could try a fixed price "buy it now sale"-but be warned, a friend has had no end of problems lately with some overseas ebay buyers-he now insists on bank transfers rather than paypal.

Try PA Jewellers on Commonside, Walkley.

 

It's the one on the corner as you go down the hill.

Selling to trade you wont get anything like what it may be worth.Ebay will reach more potential buyers,thats where i would sell it.And if it doesnt sell nothing lost.
