Got a Nixon The Dork watch.
Bought it when I was 16 in America for $65 brand new.
Wore it twice. It cut me to death as the corners on the bloody thing are sharp as fook. So I put it in the box and left it.
Just been cleanin out my room and found it. Theres a couple on eBay for £200ish and it looks like there kind of rare nowa days...

Would you keep hold of it and hope it's going to keep going up in price
Or would you just sell it now and make the £200ish?

Is it rare or special edition or something? If so, maybe... yes watches do go up in value but we're talking mainly vintage Rolex's etc.

I honestly didn't think it was to be honest, when I bought it, it was just a watch? Wasn't anything special about it.
No ltd edition number on it or anything atall?

But if you have a quick google search. It comes up with a fair few rare watch websites with articles about them?

They're not selling for £200 necessarily. If you click on 'sold listings' then the ones that have actually sold are around £40-100 mostly. Still, potential profit there.

Whether or not it is rare and exclusive, write rare and exclusive on the listing.

I know them ones havnt. Just posting an example. There's a few from America that have sold for a few hundred $$ aswell. Might just keep hold of it for another year see what happens. As you say Brett's it's still profit at the end of the day. Everything sells better if it's rare and exclusive Ian
