<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mr-cheyenne, post: 2189761, member: 74936&quot;]You mentioned garage sales but let me add estate sales. Since some weeks I try to join some sales for weekend fun. It&#039;s a lot of fun and you can find wrong priced or false determined silver. <b>Estate sale drawbacks:</b> you have to get up very early, you have to deal with the rudeness of the other visitors, and you have to accept that many organizers don&#039;t have a clue about the stuff they offer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, I bought 3 &quot;silver plates&quot; for fun and a fistful of change. I knew that there was no silver to find in this plates. But the very experienced ladies and so-called experts guaranteed that these plates passed 3 silver tests. Kidding? I took them to gold buyer with XRF Analyzer - nothing! Not even plated! </p><p><br /></p><p>But in general, I don&#039;t want to badmouth estate sales - I join them and it&#039;s fun. And I got some nice stuff in about 4 or 5 weeks:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>a 10 karat gold ring for 5 bucks &gt; worth about $55</li> <li>a 925 silver ladle for 10 bucks &gt; worth about $80</li> <li>some sterling spoons for 30 bucks &gt; worth about $100</li> <li>gold remains (closer, broken pins) for 10 bucks &gt; worth about $60</li> </ul><p>I think it&#039;s not possible to make a living but you can get nice finds there. Besides silver and gold, I found collectibles like a nice oil painting, a lamp and an antique table. Moreover, I&#039;m a proud owner of a used safe for $50 - retail was $700. The safe is covered with scratches but I don&#039;t care about that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a good source about how estate sales work.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Let me add some impression for you:</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]425312[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425313[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425314[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425315[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425316[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425312[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425313[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425314[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425315[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425316[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425317[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
