<p>[QUOTE="MisterPostman, post: 2023434, member: 42356"]Keemao, I am in CO, I use craiglist and estate sales.com and a few others to find sales. At the auction I went to I only bought a box of junk jewelry for $23. I had seen a cufflink that said "platinum" but alas, on the other side of the mount was the word "front" so it is just some kind of plating. The box did have a nice French porcelain trinket box and some decent looking base jewelry I can give away to kids, friends etc. All of the coins sold for prices that I would consider just OK at best. It took at least half a day of my time, it was fun and I am glad I tried, but am not planning to do it again soon. In my experience, estate sales or auctions which involve a company, or thrift stores don't often have many "finds" It is always possible though. My best finds have been at small garage or estate sales without pro agents. The whole process is a lot of fun, today I bought a Bing Crosby 78 from 1948 for $1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
