    Unless the watch is a very expensive model you will get very little for it. I buy a few watches on EBay from Singapore at way less than 50% of UK prices.

    Have a look at completed auctions to get an idea.

    As for what sells well that is a trade secret for most of us on here. The main tip you will get is sell something you know or alternatively research the market and see what items sell for and then try and find suppliers.

    When I sell a new product I buy in minimum quantities and test the market if they sell well I buy more. The only problem with this approach is that when you go back to buy more stock your supplier has sold out. There can be quite a bit of risk involved if you want to buy in bulk.

    Depends on the watch. If you look at completed listings, you'll see that most bog-standard watches sell for peanauts, if at all. If it's a very sought-after make it should do OK, though.
