ebay is by far your best option, if you took it to a cash converter (or similar), they wouldn't give you a great deal as they have their own profit margins to take into account. with ebay you cut out the middle man and you get all the money.
I'd estimate that you'll get about 40-50% (max) of the original price if it is in 'as new' condition. |

You could go to a pawn shop but they'll proabably only give you a small fraction of its worth. You really are best off putting it on ebay. |

Ebay but make sure you put a reserve price on it otherwise it could go for a lot less. |

Obviously you'll get more for it selling it to someone directly, and it is often surprising what you can sell through local classified adverts, if your local paper has a good classified section, or there's a free ads paper in your area, that's probably the first place to start. After that, the only real alternative is e-bay, or resigning yourself to selling it to someone who's going to sell it on (and will want to make at a bare minimum £50 on it). One thing to bear in mind is that an item is only 'worth' what someone will pay for it, so you will, even on a direct sale, get at most 50% of it's 'worth'. And selling to a dealer you'll get that less their profit.
P.S. Randomizer... do you realise how much EUR 500 is in UK? It's about £340 - £350, so you'd be overestimating her likely return by about £100 plus.... so surely, no best answer for you - btw, I think you'll probably find that asking for the best answer will lead people to choose someone else more often than not.....it's annoying!! |

What it's worth and what you will get for it are two very different things and if you get more than a third of it's value you will be very lucky indeed.
You could try speaking to a few jewellers. I've seen the odd one that will display customers goods in the window and try and sell it for them but of course they charge for the service.
Adverts in local papers or magazines might work but the watch strikes me as being a bit pricey for the average punter.
All in all I think EBay might be your best bet but put a reserve on it just in case. EBay is a strange place and some people seem to be more interested in winning an auction than getting value for money so it's difficult to predict the outcome.
I saw an ordinary Loo Roll sold on EBay for over £2 plus p&p and somebody sold a "new Folder" for a PC (the sort you right click and create for yoursel) for about the same price. He even charged 50p postage despite saying that the folder would be sent by email. |

I wouldn't take it to cash converters or a pawn shop as you'll be lucky to get up to £50 for it (my other half used to work as a buyer for cash converters)
I'd try ebay and make sure you put a reserve on that way if you don't get what you want for it you get to keep hold of it and try elsewhere |

Local cash converters or similar - expect to get an absolute max of 1/3rd of it's original value |

jewellers.
personally, I wouldn't sell anything of mine in order to get married. Weddings are grosely over priced and not worth the hangover. |

maybe advertise it in your local newspaper or go into a jewellery store and ask them if they buy item's the thing with cash generator and cah converters you NEVER get what the item is worth go get the item valued again and where you get it valued ask if they want to buy it off you |
