Nope. Your best bet is to research the classifieds rather than ask those on here to do it for you.

Was not a case of being lazy I just thought there maybe a watch specialist in here.

If it's a TAG then about £3 ........why o why are people so thick is to buy these second rate watches at inflated prices .....if you buy a TAG then expect to get very little for it at resale......I suppose you might find somebody as equally stupid as you to buy it

Sold for £696
Bought for £550 not bad for someone so stupid

Did you buy it new?

Nope - would not buy a new Tag, lose to much money

Yeah, youre probably right. I quite like Gouldy though.

But why ask how much your watch is worth secondhand when you bought it secondhand yourself.

Just because I bought a watch for x in 2012 does not mean it's worth that much now!! It was a simple question that I was hoping someone might know that answer too! I should have probably known just to post it on eBay rather than ask for an idea of what it's worth now from someone in the watch industry ..I know nothing about watches

I thought that we didn't sink to entertaining idiots and name calling here, that's for the lounge!

I am quite astounded that I am called a troll on here by someone who obviously feels it normal to call someone stupid, when they have never met them or even spoke to them.

Why am I going to make up the figures, do you really think I need to try justrify myself to someone like you?

OP - I know it is an internet forum - and part of it's existence is to help other people.
But - at least try making an effort - people will be more inclined to give you favourable response.

I think it is a case of the populous feeling that :


1. You are just being lazy.
It is a very popular watch.
And the answer is a couple of google clicks away.


2. Free Advert.
This site is littered with Uncle Tom Cobly and all - trying to avoid paying fees to advertise something on this site.
".....I'm thinking of selling.... but I would like to get an idea what to sell it for...." to then entice someone to make an offer.
Hang around General Gassing for a few days - you will spot them.


3. You could have phrased the question thus..
HI... I'm looking for some advice.
I bought this in 20xx for £xxx I'm thinking on selling it before the end of the year - as I want to buy this watch in the January sales...
I see that shop A is selling similar for £xxxx. If I want a quick private sale would £zzzz be realistic?


It isn't about what you are asking - it is how you are going about asking for it.

OK that is fair enough maybe I could have gone about it a different way but I didn't - no trolling reason - that was just how I posted it -
I genuinely thought this forum had people in it who bought and sold watches so would have been able to come back to me with a price - I was offered £400 by a company which I thought was low. What I paid for it, or what someone has offered me should have no bearing on what the general re sale value of this watch is.

Anyway i'm ouuut of here
