    gold and silver AGAIN!

    ANOTHER great day at the sales. Stopped at an estate sale advertising sterling an hour early to find I was #19 in line, got a ticket, was told to come back at 8am. Thankfully I drove around and stumbled upon another sale that had literally just started. Grabbed a handful of jewelry for $1 and I knew I scored big with that one. Ran back to the estate sale to find they already let everyone inside! Oh well... I went in to find a table with sterling priced at market value. I went to the kitchen to see if the organizers "missed any sterling" and if the 30 people already there missed it too... Somehow amazingly I instantly spotted sterling in a box of misc kitchenwares marked "3.00 lot". Grabbed a German beer mug and paid the cashier the $3.25 for it all and left happy. Stopped by a church rummage sale on my way home and scored a few more pieces of jewelry and 2 records.
    I SPENT EXACTLY $5.00 TOTAL AND GOT THE FOLLOWING:

    -Merrily We Roll Along Musical Soundtrack LP HALF SPEED MASTERED Audiophile Pressing - open in shrinkwrap
    -Merrily We Roll Along Musical Soundtrack LP HALF SPEED MASTERED Audiophile Pressing - STILL SEALED
    -2 butter knives/cheese spreaders marked "SSMC Sterling" (handle scrap value only)
    -cheese server marked STERLING (handle scrap value only)
    -"DANSK" Torun knife rosewood handle
    -Forschner Victorinox Carving Set
    -"Shultheis Pils" marked West Germany .25 liter beer mug
    -pair of TAXCO earrings #328
    -DU PONT tie bar/clip marked 1/20 GF 12K with what looks like a diamond in it
    -2 chains marked ITALY 925 (1 of them is suspect for being fake)
    -2 rings marked 925
    -circle pin sun design marked 14K 3.4 grams!

    Your carving set is Rosewood, your Torun knife is Teak. Nice finds.

    Nice going Ben! The melt value on the earring alone is more than $120! Nice going!

    You should do what I did. Set up a free website and add the webstore app. I am making an extra $25-$50 bucks per week with just the camera mount. I bet you could score several hundred per month if you did!

    Take care!
