Are you wondering what to do with your old watch? Does it still work, but you just do not need it anymore? If so, it might be a good idea to go ahead and sell your watch . Before you stick a price tag on it and go door to door to try and sell it, there are several things that you can consider. You must know how to prepare your watch for a sale, how to price it, and how to present it.
If you watch is broken, you may want to take it to a watch repair shop and get it working again. If you need to replace the battery, go ahead and replace it. Consider replacing the watchband. If the original band is worn or broken, a new watchband can make it more appealing to buyers. The only exception to this rule is if it is a collectible watch, in which case the original band, scratches, etc., would add to the value. You can polish and clean the watch so that it looks like new. Again, an old collector’s watch should be left alone so that the age of the watch shows. You can sell your watch online or you can sell it to a shop. If you sell it online, make sure that you post a clear picture that allows viewers to see the watch. Describe the watch in detail, including any improvements that you made. If you want to sell it to a shop, bring the watch in its original case to get better price.
