Selling Silver Pocket Watches Ideas
Selling Silver Pocket Watches Ideas
One of the most profitable things I do is buy repair and resell pocket watches, all online, and you do not have to know about how to repair a pocket watch. What you do need to know is where to buy good non working examples, that’s easy the best place by a mile is eBay, second is offline local auctions.
You are looking for pocket watches that are all in one piece, have all the mechanism present, and are cosmetically in good condition, the only thing wrong is that they do not work.
One other major point is to buy silver pocket watches, they must clearly show the silver hall marks, also an added bonus is a recognised makers name.
Now the the next stage is to repair the watch, this is easy you take the watch to a watch shop that specialises in pocket watches, or someone who generally repairs normal watches but does pocket watches as a sideline interest. Look in the local directory, visit an antique shop and ask if they can advise who can repair a pocket watch you own, you will be surprised how helpful people are and the recommendations they make, sound as if you know nothing about the subject, certainly do not let on you want to become a dealer.
The cost of a reasonable silver pocket watch on eBay will be around £20 to £35, if it has a silver chain all the better, also you might be able to buy two or more pocket watches in lots.
I will dealve more deeply into this very interesting and profitable hobby in future posts, in the mean time take a look at the pocket watches offered below from eBay, you will find many excellent examples.
