Message:: [QUOTE="George Chaney, post: 4285835, member: 19137"]I can't answer all of your questions, but I will offer my opinion as a habitual buyer and reseller of "stuff" It's a beautiful clock that looks to be visually in fairly good order. If you have to pay someone to repair a clock, you will find most are not worth repairing. If you can disassemble, clean, service and repair a clock, you are a rare bird and can make money in the business. If you can't do your own work, you want to find a resource locally that can and see what kind of deal you can work out to service and repair bits as needed so you have a solid idea of what your costs will be versus what the market will pay. The demand for old clocks has plummeted. So, enter the field with caution relative to what you are going to buy. You can actually be picky in the market when it comes to most clocks. The old collectors are dying out, their collections are hitting the market and the kids, so far, aren't jumping into the old clock market like they did with old pocket watches, so the market is getting a bit saturated.[/QUOTE]
