What a morning! I had to get up before any civilized person to drive almost 2 hours to meet a guy that had some old Triumph Motorcycle parts. I ended up with two nice 1952-56 gas tanks, an early 1960s 650cc head and a 1971-72 Conical front wheel for a grand total of $400. I should get $600 + each on the tanks, $100+ on the head and $50-$100 on the wheel. We decided to hit yard sales and thrift stores on the way home.{We took the LONG Way} I walked into the first thrift store and the lady at the counter was sorting jewelry. She would look at each piece with a magnifying glass, price it and the lay in the tray for me to check out. First piece was a 14 kt necklace for $5. Next 14kt bracelet for $4.50, then a 14 kt bracelet for $9, then 14kt earrings for $1, a nice sterling necklace for $2, another sterling necklace for $1 and a junk jar for $5. In the junk jar was a pair of 925 /14kt earrings, 2 other pairs of 925 earrings, 925 ring, 925 pin, $1 US Grant coin, and a very nice 10kt Oddfellows pin with a diamond. My wife bought a few other things along the way but this was all I got. I spent $426. What a Morning!!!!
