Clock Tips

Whether it is a basic bong-bong-bong or a thrilling symphony, the sound of a grandfather clock faithfully chiming the hour is music to the ears for many people. However, the high price tag makes the clock strikes flat for the majority. Most people are simply unable or unwilling to spend thousands of dollars for a clock, no matter how beautiful or rich-sounding. However, these people do have alternatives.

Discount grandfather clocks are available for the budget-minded consumer. Many online companies sell grandfather clocks at reasonable prices. Furniture 2 Your Door, for example, offers a walnut finish grandfather clock with chime for $220.

Local discount furniture stores are also good options for discount grandfather clocks. Discount stores often sell decorative grandfather clocks, sometimes for under $200. While these cheap grandfather clocks may not be heirloom-quality, they can still be heirloom beautiful. If your main concern is to have an attractive piece of furniture without breaking the bank, these discount grandfather clocks are a good choice.

You can also buy higher quality clocks for less at online stores. One such outlet recently offered a Howard Miller Reigel grandfather clock for $1755; much less than its list price of $2925. One note about buying from online stores: make sure you include the shipping charges when you are comparing prices. This often overlooked aspect can make a huge difference. Sometimes it is worthwhile to pay a bit more at a local company or an online one that offers free shipping.

It is also possible to find undiscovered treasures at flea markets or garage sales. Sometimes people will unwittingly sell a high-quality grandfather clock for mere dollars. More often, however, you get exactly what you paid for–a good-looking albeit cheap clock. Unless you are knowledgeable in grandfather clocks, do not assume you have struck gold. Enjoy the clock for its looks, and if it turns out to be valuable that will be an added bonus.

If you have no interest in collecting clocks or reselling them, it is quite possible to own a beautiful grandfather clock at a discount price. Money saved is music to everyone’s ears.

There are cuckoo clocks available for people with all kinds of decorating or collecting budgets. On Ebay you’ll find cheap cuckoo clocks priced from $9.99 to thousands of dollars before the bidding begins. Obviously, if a clock is hand carved, very old, and in good shape, it will end up bringing in lots of bidders who cruise the listings looking for bargains. If its a mass-produced, relatively modern piece of equipment you may end up snagging an enjoyable, delightful, accurate and cheap cuckoo clock for very little money.

You have to do your homework, researching brand names so you know what you’re buying and roughly how much you should be paying for it. Find a clock that suits you out of the hundreds constantly being listed on the world famous auction site, determine how much you are willing to pay (don’t forget to factor in shipping and handling charges as well as insurance fees) and stick to it. If the bidding goes higher than your limit, drop out and wait for a similar item to appear on the site.

There are also bargains to be found on many of the websites that specialize in selling cuckoo clocks as well as on sites that sell clocks of all kinds. The greater the selection of clocks that a company sells, the greater the bargains will be for closeouts, inventory reduction sales and promotional items. Again, do your homework. Know what you are buying beforehand and then try your best to make the deal you want for that item.

Its best to buy your cuckoo clock, especially if its a cheap cuckoo clock, from a website or company that offers a warranty on the purchase, and from companies that also offer repair services. This way, if the item is defective in any way when you receive it, you’ll have recourse. Also, if it should stop working somewhere down the road, the company you purchased it may be able to offer repairs. In the interest of developing and maintaining a good reputation and attracting repeat business from customers, the company should do right by repairing the item you bought from them at the cheapest possible cost. Here are some places to start: cuckookingdom.com, cuckooclockmall.com, and discount-clocks.com
