I need some advise on selling a collection of Timex watches collected over the last 35 years. Can anyone suggest a better means of selling the watches other than Ebay. I have about 5,000 Timex watches. I am going to start with my duplicates, and some parts watches then move to the final collection. I have complete catalogs from 1955, and service manuals. I think I will only sell the watches first. Need some help on this delema to down size collection. Not for this forum, however have another 5,000 other name brand watches. Does it make sense to sell in small batches?
Phillip

...to sell them in batches of i.e. 3-4 watches ( working watches ) and then maybe 10-15 ( non-working/parts watches ). However, you could make large batches of i.e. 100 watches as I am sure that would generate an interest for those hardy Timex collectors

Ebay would be the first choice for selling them, but if you're not comfortable with Ebay you could contact a nearby antiques auction house ( or online ) and have them sell the whole lot for you. I would imagine that one huge lot of 5000 Timex watches would be quite a substantial auction, and you could always set a minimum price. Or divide them into 5 lots of 1000 each. Just a thought.

And Phillip: please contact me if you're willing to sell some across the Atlantic

Good luck!

Knut, What are you looking for, and let me check my inventory. no objection to sending some over seas.
Phillip

Perhaps the Timex museum might be interested, or another watch museum.

I wouldn't mind buying some but 5,000 is sure a lot!

Do you have a blue marbelized elctronic you might be willing to part with like this one?

I think I have one with a brown dial? Will that work? If so e-mail me at [email protected], and I will check.

Yeah, I think it also comes in a brownish red dial. Honestly, would prefer to have the blue. Thank you so much for offering though. I just love how everyone on this forum is so kind.

Cheers!

I checked, and only have the Brown dial, not the Blue. Would be happy to send free if you decide it is a good replacement.

Hi, I spotted a marbled Timex on Ebay whilst hunting for more. I am not sure about the color, pic is very bad, but it could be blue. It is a fixed price or offer so I s'pose it is safe to post you the item no. 160260047437

Richard.

it's been such a long time. You and I used to be in contact regularly years ago on Alan N.'s Timex Forum. I've thought of you several times lately. Hey...email me at: [email protected] .

Best to you,

Dorsey

Hi Dorsey, Any suggestions on how to piece these times out and not just give them away?

Hey Phillip. I'm going to email you directly with some suggestions.

I am a brand new member of this forum, & a newbie collector of Timex. Please put some of your watches on Ebay so that that I'll get a chance to buy a few. I promise to keep the bidding going at least!!
Any chance of you sending me a list of watches for sale?
Cheers Richard.

I can't send a list because there are just too many. That is part of my delema. I just don't know where to start. I just sold 100 to a guy in Japan , and he was willing to let me just pick them out. I picked out 50 that i was sure were running, and 50 fixers. I still have all the other brands I want to get rid of as well. I don't want to sell them for too low a price, and want a fair return. I have sold some on Ebay, but not happy with the process. they sell for too low a price.
I am open to suggestions. If you know of anyone who needs about 3000 w omens Timex let me know. I didn't even count them in the original batch.

I am interested in a 1958 Minty Timex Marlin. I will pay top dollar

If you have a Marlin Reproduction sold in the Target stores a few years back (I believe 2001/2002). I would very much like to purchase it.

Send me a photo, and I am going to see if I have what you need.

You don't happen to have a Timex Diver 600 from 1960s you are willing to part with? Thanks. Mike

LOL, look what started!

Hello,

I was psyched to see that you have a large Timex collection. Do you have any of the Heritage Collection reproductions from the early 00's? I have the Marlin, but I am trying to get the others. I will pay top dollar. Thanks.

thread that most likely the orginator no longer stops by,,,,

I realized this right after I posted. Ha ha. Any ideas on where I can get the Heritage Collection on here?

are you near a Time Factory outlet? I recall on my last trip to the one in Harriman NY that there were a few available. That is if I understand correclty that the heritage collection is made of of the reissued vintage models.
