You got ripped off, no? About 2- and-a- 1/3-ounces of silver for $213.00? What am I missing here?

You did really well I would have no problem giving you $500 for it and figuring on doubling my money if not more. Congrats

 

[Terry Soloman]

Look up Georg Jensen 171 necklace.

Um, yeah I looked it up. I wish you all the luck in the world getting your money back on that.

Wow,

Great find, I hope it sells !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

 

[biggmike]

I looked it up too and my offer stands. Here is one that ended a few months ago. I believe I could get closer to $1200.

No luck needed, it's a given. Some silver is worth it's weight in gold, literally.

Now I have to look up the Georg Jensen art glass piece I picked up a few months ago. Now where did I put it

Congrats on the find.

Question....... Why did you buy the Jewelry VIP Program Plan? Sounds like a warranty on the item you already knew was silver. Surely it isn't this, why would a pawn shop sell a warranty plan lol.

Its amazing companies like this and Tiffany can make sterling silver so valuable. I wish I had their magic powers !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

I may be wrong but I believe that is something Grant paid for that will give him discounts on future purchases there. Maybe?

Ah didn't think about that, could be it. Just found it odd to be 10% of the item purchased.

Nice find! You should do well but, frankly I don't see that much appeal in the piece as a whole. I guess it is all in the name.

I think the VIP plan is for additional deals on jewelry purchases. I didn't buy it!... When the girl checked me out she said she went ahead and gave me the VIP discount plus the 20% off the $260. price plus, she added a silver cloth and a jar of jewelry cleaner with the purchase. She likes me I can tell, I always treat those pawn shop girls extra sweet. They get a load of guff from allot of the customers and like it when your nice.

I know what your saying Dime. Jensen is all in the name. I've had pieces sell in the 4 figures before. Keep your eye out for them. Most the places we all hunt never know they should look in to GJ pieces. They just think is silver and worth more then the average piece of jewelry. Georg Jensen as been producing silver pieces of all kinds for over 100 years and just about all of it is worth good money. Don't spend big on Georg Jensen marked U.S.A. it's legitimate Georg Jensen design, but collectors don't value the same as pieces made in Denmark.

Thanks so much for the Worthpoint report biggmike! What are your thought on others getting it? I've seen some of the stuff I sold on ebay snipped off and posted on WP. Some times I just can't find any good estimate on potential purchases and just go with my gut or walk away only to find later I should have got that thing. I navigate pricing on ebay as I feel that's the going rate on almost anything, but if there ain't no history other then WP I think then I should buy it.

I bought a huge lot of 141 high dollar vintage knives and although most were on ebay completed items many were not. I opened an account and it saved me hundreds if not thousands on the knives alone. I just kept the account open and have used it numerous times to assist in pricing. I have an ebay store and pretty much have to price my items so it really helps. If you run traditional auctions then I wouldn't think Worthpoint would be as much a help as it helps me. It's $15 a month or $149 a year and it's worth every penny to me but again I look up almost everything I buy that I am not familiar with and ebay doesn't always have a good amount of completed items of that item. I bought a Rosemeade bat spoon rest and could not find it in ebay. I found other Rosemeade items and figured I would get around $100-$200 but didn't know. I tried Google and the only one I found took me to Worthpoint so I did the free trial and found 2 of them that went for $340 and $400. Mine sold for $380 I think. When I bought the knives I got the Worthpoint subscription and use it regularly. If you look up a lot of items and need completed prices it's great. I only use Worthpoint as a look-up site for prices and have never actually listed anything there. To tell the truth I didn't realize you could list there. If you only need a price once in a while just PM me with a link to the item on Worthpoint and I can help you out with that.

Nice find I just sold one of his napkin rings for 145 weighted alot less than that. You will make a decent profit off that one.

BTW what is a jewlery VIP program plan you paid 15.00 for that for a resale piece?
