Hi,
I have a children’s music box made by Reuge in Switzerland.
Only so many made. I’m wondering where to sell it. 
It was a prize I won that my children are not interested in unfortunately.
Its RRP is £900.
Im scared of posting it as it’s delicate and obviously with its value.
Any ideas?

    How about auction? Must be specialist ones for this.

    I’ve no idea which auction tho tbh. Don’t know where to start. It’s absolutely beautiful and deserves to be displayed. At the moment it’s in its box

    EBay appear to show them selling between £5 and £600 so it seems some are valuable and some less so. If you are uncomfortable with selling on eBay then I think the suggestion of a bricks and mortar auction is a good one, just look for auction houses near to you , there are hundreds scattered all around the country, contact them and ask for their advice. Always check their costs though as they can be hefty.

    you can also use google to investigate auction houses that specialise in musical instruments, music boxes etc.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
