Another one sold for $23


I know. That's an odd case. Look at the other 100 that sold for $5-8.

You will never get that total for those watches unless they are Platinum or maybe 18kt gold.

Are old records worth money? I have a stack of them from the 60s and 70s


Depends on a ton of things, first pressing, etc

Not really, unless it is some very rare pressing and in near mint condition.

The lower dollar ones are a different pressing, differences on the cover/LP

I have the one that sold for $87 and $24. There’s another one but it has water damage

If there were platinum or gold, they would be $500+ each. These are $50 each

Out of sheer curiosity, with no improper thoughts at all, how old is your daughter? Kinda neat that she is taking after your hobby

There are still lots available for that pressing (CL 699) for $10 ish. It does look like that pressing is a bit more valuable than others, but still, $30 seems high, though there are some listed for that price as well. I guess I stand corrected, sort of?

Good luck. Even working they might bring $10/ea unless precious metal. I was a watchmaker/collector for 20 plus years. Now if you made jewelry or cuff links or did artwork with em they may bring that.

Hope you get your prices and keep posting. Love picking and garage sales.

Wow, I just looked through your last garage sale thread. I'm 99% sure that Nikon and the Vortex binoculars were once mine.



I was wondering what happened to those things that disappeared after my divorce five years ago. My ex got hooked on meth and pawned EVERYTHING including a $5,000 engagement ring and her grandmother's diamond/ruby antique watch (A friend spotted that one on FB marketplace ). I recognized the camera's neck strap with the extra padding (because the original Nikon one hurt my ex's neck). I bought her the camera and 18-200 G lens off Ebay for her birthday one year.

I bought the Vortex binos from Cabela's with accumulated Christmas gift cards.

Oh well. No hard feelings. My loss, your gain. Nowhere in comparison to the rest of the money that divorce cost me.

Here are a few. The men’s watches work, the ladies watches don’t but are somewhat rare.

I couldn’t get $50 for the men’s watches total.

Here’s the exact same watch, it’s only gold filled. It’s from 1924

She’s 16. She’s been going to garage sales with me since she was 4.
She likes to make money. During quarantine, she started her own business repainting mailboxes. She has made nearly $6000 since May, at $25-$50 a mailbox
