Easy Rider Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I thought a proper pocket watch was hand-wound? Quote

Plastic Nev Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I actually have an original hand wound one and kept away out of use at the moment, but was originally bought so I could better look the part as steam railway engine driver. Then I realised that it could so easily get damaged, and went in for a cheapo plastic cased thing with a digital read out. Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.

DSTM Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I don't collect Pocket Watches,however I have an original hand wound one,that my Great Grandfather left me in his Will. Probably close to 100 yrs old.:) I'm sure you will find a buyer, JB. Quote Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
KenB Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Hi J-B Have you thought about e-bay ? Possibly try putting a couple on at first just to test the market reaction. You can put a mimimum price on your sale. A good photograph helps too. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

Jelly Bean Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 I dont like eBay. I was just wondering if there was anything in my area. I am decluttering the house. Christmas is coming,I have already got some one to take all the babys toys she dont play with to a car boot to help raise funds for the swim team. Old cloths have gone up the Dropin Centers charity shop. If I dont use it,wear it then it may as well be sold,given away and used by others. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
wellies Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I don't know anyone who might need a pocket watch but advertising in local newspaper might bring results. The only trouble being that advertising this way can sometimes be pricey. You'd lose some or all (if nothing sells) of the money you might have made by paying for the advert. I've been there! :) Some local papers have an 'advertise free' section if the item is priced below a certain amount. How about the one in your area? If it does, you could just advertise one of the watches (depending what you reckon they're worth) and keep on wheeling them out if you get more than one customer. Or you could advertise one each week. Different if you have to pay for all ads though. How about advertisement boards in newspaper shop windows? Some supermarkets have them too. They are usually inexpensive forms of advertising that can bring results. Taking them along to the car boot sale could be another option ..and don't let the price get knocked down too much.

KenB Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Hi J-B You could try Loot. Loot. I think it is free up to limit on the number of words used.
