Selling classic Swatches

[simonrockman]

I realise that this is a bit down-market from the usual IWC and Paiget discussion in this forums but I'll risk it.

My wife as a collection of old Swatches. Other than ebay, where is the best place to sell them?

The last time I bought and sold these was 1990/91, when the Italians were going crazy for the first/second series of Swatch Chrono/Swatch Scuba. I see some of the classic older pieces from time to time on ebay, you'll get best exposure on there.

You could google to find collectors forums, these normally have sales corners. What does your wife have?

I can't believe I had the yellow body, black strap original Swatch and threw it away...let me guess its worth a fortune now?

I'm sure my Mother sold my three original/classic style Swatches when she car booted my full collection of Star Wars figures in return for a Mongoose Super Goose !! Damn stupid BMX craze !!

It's the things which people don't value, and then throw out which accumulate value. It's why old McDonalds happy meal toys are worth more than vinyl records. No-one junks their records so there are thousands of them around.

Me? I want to collect typewriters, which at the moment have very little value.
