The market for used watches is firming up some but it is still a buyers market. There are still more sellers than buyers as is the case in most luzury items. The sport watches such as the Daytona, Submariner, yachtmaster and GMT are still the most desirable of the Rolex. Bigger is better is the case of the ladies Rolex. Women are defenitly trending to a mans size watch and with our aging baby boomers, I see no reason for that to change, as none of our eyes are getting any better as we age………….
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
December 11th, 2010What a great time to sell a diamond ring or Rolex watch. Tis the season for folks to buy jewelry for thier loved ones, so it stands to reason that you will get more cash for your items if you sell them now instead of the middle of the summer. Something to think about to maximize your return on investment……………..
Pawning jewelry
September 17th, 2010
Pawning or selling your jewelry to a pawn broker can be difficult. It may be the first time you’ve sold jewelry. You need to find out who you should sell or pawn your jewelry to in Orlando. Pawn shops in will extend a loan or purchase your jewelry based on the estimated value of the item, whereas jewelry buyers will only purchase your item outright. I have been through the jewelry selling process many times with our clients, it can be emotional and confusing.
Go check out some local pawn shops in Orlando. Don’t be surprised at the neighborhoods or the experience, pawn shops are not always in the most secure locations. Once you get there, you may be talking to someone in a cage. Get some quotes and then stop by and see me at Jbjewelersorlando.com.
You can send me an email of what you have or give me a call, better yet please stop by the store in Winter Park. Make sure you check references and reputation before you leave your item with a pawnshop!!!!
Buying Jewelry from the public
August 17th, 2010In these trying economic times, used jewelryis coming out of the woodwork. People that need to sell thier stuff best be prepared for a shock when they go to sell it. Most jewelry store mark up there jewelry about 200% at least. Thats why when you take it back to the store you bought it from to sell it back you get, “we are sorry but we don’t buy jewelry, we only take it in trade towards another purchase” Of course, because if they had to buy it back you would be lucky to get 20 cents on the dollar back. How would that look 
Like you paid way to much when you bought it. Moral of the story, stay away from big stores with lots of overhead. You are paying for it!!!!
Pawn or Sell ?????
July 15th, 2010I get asked this question at least a couple times a week. The most important factor are, do you have a sentimental attachment to it? Is it something that can be replaced down the road?? How long will it take me to have the funds to get redeem it???
If you item was passed down from someone in your family, then pawn it and make sure you set aside some money each week so you can pay it off. If you bought a Rolex watch say for 5000 and you need money now, sit down and try to guesstimate how long it will take you to get it back. If its more than a couple months, then you might want to sell it and buy one again down the road when you can afford it. The interest can add up quickly and end up costing you more in the long run.
Diamond prices under pressure
July 9th, 2010I ran across this article and thought I would share it with you. Along with everything thing else for sale in these times, diamonds are not resisison proof. Its a great time for buying your loved ones a diamond but if you need to sell one, the market is flooded with stones. Lets keep are finger crossed that we can get the economy jump started soon.
All the best, JB
