A credit note from a non-chain jeweller might be difficult to shift, as the buyer would have to live in close proximity and want to spend ~£2K in that particular store. IMO your best bet would be to buy a popular watch that sells well ... Omega Speedie/Seamaster? I'd go instore, choose a watch, haggle for some decent discount and then use your credit note

errm... thats exactly what OP says they are going to do and wants advice on what exactly to buy.

The first question is what do they actually sell at this shop?

That's not how I read it;

OP said:

So, a credit note for £2200, or a watch, or a couple of watches, or a selection of Pandora bits or whatever they sell . . . what's going to get me the most back when I sell on eBay ?

It sounds as if the OP is unsure whether to sell the credit note, sell a single watch, sell a couple of watches, or sell other jewellery pieces to make cash.

I also mentioned that a Speedie or Seamaster is a good bet ... Popular with a fairly good return if unworn

Speedy or Seamaster dead easy to sell. Mine was only on Pistonheads classifieds 24 hrs sold. They are popular well made and great value for money.

You're going to lose money. Why not try approaching the jeweller and seeing if they'll buy back the £2,200 credit note for £1950 cash. In my opinion you'll struggle to buy jewellry or a watch/es and do any better.

You could perhaps ask if they will sell you gold (or silver) ingots (but I doubt if they will): perhaps get a friend to ask and then surprise them by turning up with the friend to use your credit note to buy them.

Anything Omega is a fairly safe bet.

Leave all the stickers on and tell them you don't want to try it on.

[bishbash]

Could you cheekily approach a shopper about to make a purchase and see if they'll buy the credit note off you at a discount.

[bry1975]

Sounds like a Jeremy Beadle job.

[elster]

Forget the watches.

Lots of pandora bits, you can sell on ebay for the same price as in the shop. Do your research on what pieces to get and you will probably run a profit.

I have the option of a credit note from a local Jeweller (reasonably good one, not a High St chain) or an item of Jewellery (or items) to the value of the credit note.

I'm probably missing something but why won't the shop just refund your cash?

Because by law they don't have to (unless the goods bought were faulty) and they'd rather keep the money in their till, which they will if he spends the credit note.

Probably don't offer refunds and are offering a credit note as a goodwill gesture. Surprises me how many people think they have a right to a refund just because they've changed their mind.

I expect it's to do with the amount of people shopping online and distance selling regulations.

Sorry... wasn't aiming that at you specifically

No problem

Have looked at Pandora range . . it's massive . . . does anybody know what sells well ? I suspect silver bracelets might be a good bet ? I don't want to have to buy 100's of little charm bits and sell them individually, eBay is full of them and probably half or more of them are fakes.

Check here out as my first google call.

I do have a friend in Pandora in York who could help. I will text her and ask. It depends on what your shop sells.

That would be brilliant If you could ask which products in the £30 to £100 range are the best sellers, I guess that's going to be good eBay price range.

Off the top of her head she says

• 45cm Necklace and bracelet to match
• 50cm Necklace and match bracelet
• Purple glass beads

She says she will let me know what others are in demand but in short supply
