Message:: [QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2588913, member: 27832"]As a side note, I don't know about Etsy, but I do know that on eBay "ESTATE SALE" is right up there with "KEY DATE" and "RARE" -- 99% of the time, they indicate that the item being auctioned is the exact opposite. Every once in a while, a seller putting together one of these lots will goof and include something that makes the lot actually worthwhile. Mostly, though, they're overpriced, and the seller is hoping to draw in naive buyers with the "estate sale" mystique. I don't know what you paid for this lot -- with the amount of silver that's visible, it must have been a good bit, at least by my standards -- but I wouldn't let my judgement of the lot rest on one vial of gold flakes. I'd be more concerned about whether there were any desirable dates among the lot, and whether they were genuine.[/QUOTE]
