Time To Sell, but Where?

Hi, I have been watching this forum for awhile now but I have never posted. Unfortunately my first post will probably be my last for now. I have an 18K President that I bought awhile back when I was single, but now that I am married with a big mortgage, I have to sell it do to financial difficulties.
My question is, where is the best place to sell it? I hear that the price of gold is pretty high, does that help? Also, how much can I expect to get?
Thank you in advance!

They buy watches and are fair to deal with. I have never sold them a watch, but I have bought from them and was treated fairly and squarely.

If your first post is your last, I guess you can't sell on this site. Try a pawnshop or Timezone.

The price of gold has no effect on the value of your watch.

Tell me about your watch.

Single or double quick day date change..?
President Bracelet or...??
Pictures..?
Condition..?
How loose the bracelet..?
What color dial..?
Invisible clasp or ..??
Exact model number..?
Serial number..?
Box..Papers..???

Gold maybe higher than when you bought it but other more important factors will determine the price of your watch
Let me know...I will be happy to help

Vintage DD's can be had for much less than that.

If it is good condition the most money you will make is to a private seller.
The problem right now is the economy. In the 90s i did very well selling my presidents to locals they got a beautiful pristine watch and made the $$$ i wanted ....today its a different story im afraid.
