above are two links to pictures of a Aerospace Avantage "F-15E" its no 10/35

This was left to me by my father and athough i love the watch i hate my c/ c bills more

Not posting links that are only viewable by folk that are logged in to AOL would help.

Pricing can be interesting, and watches seem to rarely go for much more than 1/2 RRP unless they are quite new and fully boxed/papers etc.

If it's a special edition it might be worth more to some but less to a lot more

Special editions are generally not worth more, and logo dial editions often tend to be worth less because it is a smaller market. Completed listings on eBay and dealer asking prices on Chrono24 along with the prices of pieces on the forums will give an active view of market value and that's what potential buyers will go by. If your prices are in line with those and you can provide references and / or satisfy the buyer that everything is legitimate then the piece will sell.

There is an expectation of good quality pictures, and if they are behind a log in then it certainly hurts - I have no idea what this watch looks like.

Yes, I'm familiar with the model, but I have no idea what this specific piece looks like - is it pristine or beat to heck? That's going to have a big impact on what the OP is going to be able to sell for.

One way to sell is to post on different watch forums "I have a watch that I was left..." and see what kind of interest that dredges up through PMs. :| The best way to sell a limited edition is to ebay it and see what the market will actually support as to value. I personally put a premium on limited editions (about 10-15%) over what a 'normal' version sells for. Rarely does a limited or special edition sell for less than the comparable 'normal' version. If it doesn't sell then either the asking price is too high or the pool of potential interest isn't trolling ebay at the moment. If you have a real need to move it along ebay it with no reserve and you'll sell it. I sold an Aerospace Advantage Battle of Britain Lancaster model on ebay for $1200. Someone got quite a deal but I was in panic mode after being 'downsized' at work so was happy to have the additional cushion until something else came up. I could always get another watch when the time was right.

You can upload them to any photo hosting site like tinypic or photobucket and the post the IMG link to here. But humble my suggestion is that you find a way to pay off your CC charges another way and just keep the watch that your father gave you. It is special, and you might regret it one day, as those are not easily bought back.
