Sell my watches

Clark80

Please move me if I have posted this in the wrong section (sorry)

I have 8 watches taking up room at home and have decided I want to sell them all. ebay fees are putting me off, so does anyone have any other ideas? I'm not expecting lots of money and ideally would love to go to one place and sell as a job lot.

I was thinking about cash converters. Any others anyone know of? I'm based in London.

Thanks

Usually jewellery shops will give you a price for them. I don't know if they'd necessarily buy though. Might be worth looking into.

Thanks I may pop down to the local one and see how I do.

Good luck!

I dont know if places like Argos could give you an evaluation..?

What sort of watches are they? I've sold watches on ebay and normally start them off at 99p (if they are oldish and especially casio) so I dont pay the insertion fee.
Normally watches go quite well on ebay, like I said Casios do particularly well for some reason. I bought a casio watch for £2.75 in p&p and it was battered and scratched but was fully functional. I put on I think for 99p + p&p and by the end of the auction it had sold for about £11.75 + p&p (before ebay's fees had been taken off).
Job lots of watches do seem to go well, but you might get more if you sell them individually.

i keep thinking this i have a omega seamaster upstairs, boxed etc but the windy bits broken, considering i paid £1100 for the watch id prob get sod all for it, i really should think about repairing it somehow

Omega watches sell well from what I hear - Working ones do fetch more.

My watches are a mixture from a Burberry watch (paid £370 for it 5 years ago) to a cheap watch which I paid £4.99 for.

What makes you think that?

I've just did a search of completed listing in the Watches section. Only 12 of the first 100 sold, the other 88 didn't sell.

Counting further, only 21 of the first 200 sold, 179 didn't sell.

I found this too which made me completely decide against selling via ebay
