<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1109437, member: 15199&quot;]The problem with buying sterling, is that it is usually items like flatwear, candlesticks, tea sets, etc. and those are hard to evaluate. The local Gold and diamond exchange had a huge pair of candlesticks come in for sale. He cut down a quarter of inch on base, and tested OK, so he&nbsp; bought for 50% &quot;in case&quot;. Luckily he did, as he cut them down to ship and he ran into base metal. Generally spoons, forks, etc. are made from same silver so are better, but knives are a pain because the blades are usually stainless. If you removed the handles, you get a better deal on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The silver buyers seem low prices given until you figure the chances they have to take.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
