Are These Worth Anything?

My friend has some wrist watches that are promos from Burger King/Jurassic Park movie. The batteries are nearly dead but they are new in the boxes. The one I saw was called the dragon's eye. Kind of cool but he's trying to see what he can sell from his sister's stuff. She passed suddenly during the pandemic and he got all her "things". Also has a china set that looks like it could be worth selling but he asked me to se about the watches.

...but you have to do some work to find the right buyer.

You should research collectibles trading shows to try to find a dealer who can get the best price.

Making room in his spare bedroom. if he can get a reasonable price, that will be good enough.

Besides, he'd try and make ME deal with it, especially if I suggested it. Not into it. I don't use those web sites and I don't want to. They just seem like a sinkhole kind of thing that suck up all your time after a bit.

He just texted me with an offer of $45 for the set of dishes so that I "...can deal with it."

These are nice dishes, can't recall the brand. I'm thinking about relocating and a full set of dishes aren't included in the game plan. I got rid of a large set when I moved to Montana years ago.
