Do you have a gold watch that you think might be worth some money? You can sell gold for cash through a lot of different places. You’ll want to research the best places and methods of selling gold watches before you put yours up for sale.

Here are some tips to help you sell your gold watch:

• Figure out what it’s worth. You may want to get it professionally appraised if you think it’s very valuable. Otherwise shop around online to find out what similar watches are selling for.
• Carefully assess the condition of the watch. Is it in good shape? Does it work properly? If the watch is in great condition then you might want to sell it to a jewelry store. If it’s not then you’ll have to look elsewhere.
• Determine the best type of buyer. If you’re going to sell the watch as scrap because it’s broken then you should sell it to an online pawn shop that specializes in buying and selling gold. If you’re going to sell it as an heirloom piece then you might want to advertise it on antique sales sites.
• Have prices in mind. Decide how much you would ideally like to get for the watch. Also decide what the lowest figure is that you’ll accept. This will help you decide whether or not to sell the watch when offers to buy start to come in.

While walking my chocolate brown Labrador Retriever on a beautiful California sunny afternoon, he broke off his leash in a Marley and Me type moment and ran after a cat (is that so cliché).  I couldn’t believe the experience because we did graduate at the top of our class in Petsmart’s doggie obedience school.

I raced after him scolding all the way, “Bad doggie, bad doggie, come back here!”  Those were not the words we were trained with at school but I could utter nothing more convincing in my shocked state.  I finally caught up to my pooch in front of a pawn shop in Los Angeles.  I was exhausted and realized I better start running at the gym again if a simple game of chase is going to wear me out.  It was probably being so tired that made me lose my coordination and I tripped over my naughty dog’s leash with a goofy flop to the ground.

Anyone and everyone who wanted to sell gold in Los Angeles seemed to be out on this day because I had a gaggle of people staring at me in the parking lot.  Why couldn’t they choose an online pawn shop on this particular day?  I really didn’t need a huge audience for my face down flop.
