    best day ever.

    first sale of the day there was jewelry. was having a hard time seeing any markings in the low light and though plastic bags. the woman running the sale told me that's all costume jewelry, you wont find any gold or silver in there. i saw what i thought was a taxco Mexico stamp, (ended up being alpaca)
    took a chance on 5 items for 5 bucks hopping for silver or gold filled.
    ended up looking at it better latter in the day,
    the silver bracelet is 900 coin silver (tested) 78 grams.
    the gold is 60 grams 18k bracelet and 14k charm.
    the other 3 items were junk.
    at another sale got some vintage RayBan aviator sun glasses for 3 bucks should be good for $50 to 100.
    it's out there if you look for it.

    Don't ever let them tell you there is no gold or silver. Always look anyway!

    Yes it's always "just costume jewelry" or "nothing real in there"... or so they think. Great score!

    check Ebay on the panel bracelet, you should make well above spot for it.
    In support of my country and its freedoms I will be wearing a flag lapel pin, have a flag decal on my car, and a flag flying proudly at my home.This is to show I vote and support the right of our citizens to vote, to show I am retired military and I support our current and past military, to show I am a citizen and support the rights of those who take the legal path to citizenship, and above all else I am a taxpayer, the supervisor of all elected and appointed government workers who represent me.

    thanks guys, i had a hard time researching the panel bracelet, only found one, kind of like it on worthpoint.com and i am not a member.
    anyone a member? is it worth the cost?
    any way it's up for sale now.
    link here.

    eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

    i think the gold will be going to the refiner as i don't like the idea of 2000 grand plus on ebay, to many Scammers out there.

    it's funny, the next day i could not find anything worth buying at 20+ sales.
    it's been real hot and cold at the sales lately.
    i did sell the ray bans i found for 102 bucks today, that helps with the gas money.
