Tips for Pawning Your Watch in Woodland Hills

Our best tips on how you might get a bigger loan are:

• Make sure your watch is clean and presentable
• Your watch should be in good working condition
• Include any watch accessories you might have

• Try to determine beforehand how much your watch is worth

Two easy ways that might help you determine the value of your designer watch are:

2. LiveAuctioneers.com

LiveAuctioneers.com has a database with more than 29 million results of what items, including luxury watches, sold for on auctions all over the world.

Selling vs Pawning Your High-End Watch

Pawning your high-end watch makes sense if you only need a short-term loan and want it back after repaying your loan. But if you no longer want it, consider selling it.
