Wow, the Invicta Lotus (643-715) has been marked down to $79.42. Anyone who was hesitant to buy it for $135 may want to take another look. I definitely think it's worth $80 and it's a nice-looking watch.

aprimo:  That is a good price.  Luckily they put the price back up so I'm no longer tempted..    A good sale often breaks my self control.

Hi all

Have been working fiendishly on a project. Friday is 9/1. I will try to start the thread.

Hey terryshay, 

It's good to hear from you. Did I read  correctly? 1,000 watches?

You might try a few other places other than ebay. Some sell their watches on Facebook or they even feature some watches on youtube.   I can tell you that there is a sizable watch community on FB. 

I just finished a very tough sale on ebay. In general, watcehs don't retain their resale value--unless you have a Rolly or something in that league.  I always had good luck with the original Renatos. Invictas tend to sell for about 25 percent of what you paid. Unless it's brand new. Or a very rare item.  It's really tough.

This after 10 years of selling watches. Good luck.

Hi Terry.  Glad you stopped by to say hi.  I haven't counted my watches,  I'm afraid.  But your collection might be larger than mine.  Hope your sales effort is  successful.

Java,  I thought about the need for a new thread tomorrow.  Glad you are busy with work.

I've been doing my semi-annual watch check to see which ones need batteries.  So far,  over 2 dozen in the pile.  I still need to wind the automatics,  but at least they don't need batteries.   Between maintaining my watches and swapping out my summer and winter handbags,  I have a full time job.

I haven't given it any thought. I have been weariing the RD square with an white strap as a daily wear. It's very comfortable.

I no longer post pictures here, because photobucket has changed its business model and has locked my pictures unless I pony up a fee You can store them for free--just try posting them. i have ten years' worth of images.. We're talking about a lot of money. I will explore other options as I find time. Will be happy to share them.

My thoughts have also been on the Gulf Coast. Was aprimo from Houston area? I could be wrong. aprimo, I hope you're OK. Let us know.

Terry,

If you have pictures and have an idea of what you're looking for, someone expressed interest.  I don't know about the whole lot/

More thoughts on this:

The sheer number of it would get the wrong sort of attention  (Is this a real business?)

Determine the hgher end watches and sell them off singly. I would think any special sort of watches that are unontainable.

 What's left, donate and document for your taxes. Possibly get one-third.

Contact any liquidators. They probably sell on ebay. It's just such a large number.

It would take forever to sell them all singly.

It's September.  Time for a new thread.
