You're lucky to be offered $250 from the local store for it. It is not an antique clock, and there isn't much demand for clocks this large anymore.
You have to decide if you really want it or not. If you get $250 for it...you are $250 dollars ahead, didn't cost you anything. If sentimental and you want to keep, let your stepmom hold it for you until you can find a place for it, well, if she doesn't mind. Put it in storage.
a specialist sale but if you dont get the amount you want you can tell the seller not to sell it i would love one but my property isnt big enough or a private sale
I inherited a beautiful grandfather clock from my father after he passed away in 2010. It is a Howard Miller 76th Anniversary clock (model #610-989), and he paid $2,500 for it in 2006. I would love to keep it, but I am a college student and I'm moving overseas after graduation. The clock has been at my stepmom's house while I've been away at school, and she keeps it clean and wound up. It's in great condition, just like new. It has everything including the instruction manual, winder, and key. I want to sell the clock for at least 25% of its original price ($625), but looking at ebay, Amazon, and Craigslist, it seems like these clocks are being sold for just a few hundred dollars on average. I would hate to let go of such a valuable item for a price of only $300 or so. A local used furniture store offered me a measly $250 for it! Is there anywhere I could go to sell my grandfather clock for a reasonable price? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If I can't get 25% of its original cost, then I'm just going to keep it. It's better to have a $2,500 clock than to have a few hundred dollars and never see it again.
