I haven't been doing this for too long, but I do this year round, every weekend, and both Saturday and Sunday. I go to a lot of sales. Today was the best sale I have ever been too.

I saw it listed earlier in the week. It was in a really nice neighborhood and had some interesting items listed. I noticed later in the week, the listing was simplified and some items were removed. I got there early and they said I could look around.

The woman handed me a clam shell candy dish and said: "This is nice, it's sterling". It turns out the middle-aged lady who lived there was moving and the two people there were helping. I asked for jewelry and they said: "Yes, let me go get the owner." She came down with a jewelry box and gave it to me. I immediately saw the bangles and they looked good to me right away, but I thought there was no way they could be real. I put together my pile, and could have kept looking but I wanted to close the transaction before others started showing up. I paid $125 for everything! Every tests good too.

- 2 22K Thai Children's Bangles: marked .915099 (YES!) - they weigh 29grams

Yes, me too. I'm going to keep those.

I like the bangles because they are worth about 6 times the value of the large clam. :)

Thanks everyone...I took it easy today but did manage to pick up these 3 Artemide lamps for $50. Shocked at how much they sell for.
