Watch boxes...

[wolfeyes1974]

Guys,

I'm contemplating to sell my various watch boxes (JLC, GP, Zenith..etc) since all my watches are now all kept in a watch case. You know..some of the boxes may become flaky over time...so i might as well sell them. I think some of the boxes can be sold over $100. I can make some money to subsidize another watch purchase...what do you think?

Thanks!

James

im not in approval of selling them. no doubt they may become flaky. however, if there is no box, it may or may not affect your watch re-sale value. unless u intend to keep your watches for a long time. then again, u never know when you might want to trade......my 2cts worth

Thanks bro...honestly, am in 2 minds about it. I agree with your view but then again if they become flaky over time...2nd hand dealer will also reduce the trade-in value isn't it or worst the boxes become totally worthless? Anyone knows what's the "general" price difference say when you sell a watch with box versus a watch without a box? Is it like $100 difference or???

i wouldn't dare say a price. but between box and papers, if one got box and no papers vs one without box v papers, i would go for papers without box.

[louisoh]

I would suggest that you keep them.... for me.. if i'm buying preown.. i have higher preference for watches with boxes...

Then again, after consideration and you still wan to sell ur boxes.. lemme noe.. i may be keen in some

If there's likelihood that watches will be sold in future, then it's advisable to keep the watch boxes. Boxes and papers can affect up to 10% of the resale price of a watch. A flaky box is still better than none.

So if I were you, I would keep the boxes

[wolfeyes1974]

Thanks guys..i'll keep them for now...

Louis, u can register yr interest first and let me know which ones ...hahahaha.you never know i may change my mind again...

cheers

eh. am i blur or my english salah...correct me if im wrong hor...

when i mention not big enough to put in the watch box implies that the watch box cannot put into the dehumidifier box right?

however if i were to say not big enough to put into the watch boex implies that dehumidifier box put inside watch box right?

however, my dehumidifier box cannot contain the watch box........
