Be Wary Of ‘As-Is’ Antique Grandfather Clocks
It is always better to conduct some research on history, construction techniques and factors influencing price trends of antique grandfather clocks before buying one. This way, you can be sure of getting a fair price for it, and to spot a bargain in the process.
Find out what prices other clocks have been sold for so that you can find out what rate to quote and bid for your clock. Use printed price guides and catalogs to get an idea of the best rate for your clock.
Approach clocks being sold in an ‘as is’ basis as though you may get a bargain, you may have to spend a sizeable amount in repair and restoration. It is instead better to pay a little more, so that you get a seller’s guarantee of authenticity and serviceability on the antique grandfather clocks.
