Hey Bernie, I have a friend here in Okla. that buys clocks on e-bay, restores them and resells them on e-bay. He seems to do pretty good with them. As for me, I am of the same opinion as you. The only clocks that I buy, are ones I want to keep. If some one wants one bad enough I will sell it. Antique clocks are like all of the other antiques I restore, they are only worth what you can get some one to pay
