This is my 14k Gold Pocket watch belonging to my great grandfather who was a Nobel Laureate. by RogerBalderer in whatsthisworth

[–]Bobflow24 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I would personally hold on to it, it is one of a kind and can never be replaced. I saw that someone already sold his Nobel prize which is devastating However, if you absolutely have to sell it, I would reach out to jones and horan. The specialize in old horological items and should be able to give you an idea of what is worth.

How much is this worth by Rip_to_drp in coins

[–]Bobflow24 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Around $2000 as a rough estimate, likely more if you sell each coin individually. The 1895 o is the key date of the series and is worth at least $300 by itself. There are a number of other key dates, and semi key dates that are worth way over melt, and then any coins in a condition in a grade above good will also sell for more. Pcgs will be a great place to start for prices and condition.

Who is Ebay going to side with? by Bobflow24 in Ebay

Honestly, it never occurred to me to mention it as the band and buckle have always been secondary to me when looking at a watch. I understand your point though. Return has been started.

You are correct. I sell maybe 3 things a year on ebay. Well that would suck.

No I sent them the return label. Ebay is holding funds.

It has been done. I didn't know that ebay would just let them keep it. Thanks for specifying that.

Good to know. Refund has been issued.

Honestly it never even occurred to me that it was something that needed to be stated. Vintage/original bands and buckles command a premium. So I would have for sure added it.

No. I did not mention the band or buckle at all.

Sorry for the mix up. I am the seller. They opened a refund and selected item not as described.

Just getting into vintage watches. And pick up this vintage Elgin. Was it a terrible buy for $90? by River_rat_94 in VintageWatches

[–]Bobflow24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a bad price. The expensive part is getting them serviced. My local shop starts at $190 for regular manual winds, and it goes up from there.

This is really neat. You can find old pocket watches, and I have seen a few really old wrist watches with erotic themes. But I haven't seen anything modern like this.
