I found a bulova clock at a yard sale nearby here for 12 bucks but I'm having trouble getting a read if it's actually worth picking up for the sake or resale. Looks neat but can't think of anyone I'd give it to otherwise. Bad picture of it to follow.

Funny thing, I remember buying this clock for my parents about 15 years ago. Was worth 10 bucks back then, brand new from the store.

Seems it's still worth about that according to a friend I got in contact with right before I left, it's still kind of neat at least.

Wow that's a classic. I wouldn't call myself a fan of clocks but I do remember that model from at least the early-mid 80's. If it still worked then I might pick it up just for the nostalgia.

That appears to be a Bulova Tristan Polished Brass Tone Anniversary Clock. If it runs on two AA batteries then it is a modern model and can be had for around $60 to $75 brand new. If it is a mechanical clock (otherwise known as a torsion pendulum clock) and it works correctly the value can vary depending on the face style, design, condition, and age. The mechanical clocks are a very delicate instrument meant to be set up and rarely moved once doing so. They were often referred to as the "400-day clock" because many of them only have to be wound once a year or longer. Some would last well over three years without winding. The average selling price for a common model working mechanical clock will usually fall in the $125 to $250 range though there are many other designs and models that are more rare and command higher prices. Working models made before 1951 also command a premium as the mechanism design was changed to improve accuracy and these older ones are scarce.
