ladies elgin wrist watch

Not worth much especially if not running. Maybe $30-40 if running and case etc. in decent condition. That's what you'd likely get for it on eBay. I use eBay as my benchmark for what anything will fetch at a minimum in the marketplace. Appraisals by say a a jeweler are often inflated and don't give any real idea of what you would be able to get for a watch. Usually a good bit less. I see watches and jewelry on eBay that say: 'appraised at $5000 with copy of appraisal' but they never fetch that much money and if there is a reserve on it --- the item doesn't sell. You can wait an eternity for something to sell at an appraised price and likely it never will. Sorry about going off course....
