I have inherited expensive jewelry(Rolex) and need advice on how/where to sell it?

I have inherited a Rolex watch that has been appraised at 19k. It's in great condition and has the letter of authenticity. I want to sell it but don't know where to start. Ebay has a lot of them on there but they don't appear to be selling and the ones that are the prices are extremely low. Anyone has any legit advice?|||I sold a real expensive Rolex watch that I inherited from my grandfather to http://www.captaincashforgold.com/ and was extremely happy with the service.

You will not get anything like what it is "worth" as the dealer will look to make a commission, particularly as they will probably need to clean, refurbish and market the watch. Make sure you know as much as possible about the model you have - it should all be in the letter of authenticity and correspond with details on the timepiece (the serial number is hidden under the lower band if you have any doubts about authenticity).





19k is a lot, even for a Rolex. For that valuation I would assume it is made of gold or is a particular collectors item. Steel Rolexes tend to be worth much less, platinum more. Rolexes also tend to keep their value over time, so don't feel in a hurry to sell unless you need the cash. Prices might be higher when the markets get frothy again in a few years time.|||You will likely get your best price %26amp; safest sale combination at a jeweler.





Try a few "high end" places in your area -- bigger metro areas are better -- and see how close the prices are to your appraisal. Take the appraisal with you, but don't show it to them until they give you their number.





Keep in mind that your appraisal may be a retail value and a retailer cannot give you that price and still make a profit. If it is an insurance replacement estimate, it also may be "unrealistically" high for your needs.
