Hello, this weekend was nice and cool in the morning and kept garage doors closed until later
than normal. I was following signs to nowhere until about 9 A.M. when people started to pull out their stuff and open the doors.

Almost walked away from the Tivoli stereo until I had the smarts to look it up...it was at the same sale last weekend and forgot to check it out, I was not about to make the same mistake twice. The Technics speakers are nothing special but still worth making a listing.
The miter saw is a Disston and came free with the Stanley piece. The little hp computer is my first of this type and should be worth more than the dollar I paid for it.

About 11 A.M. I spy an estate sale company sign and decide to drop in even though they have been open for two hours already. I cannot believe that everybody missed the gold chain and crucifix in the junk jewelry box that was rifled through and strewn about. I asked the cashier how much and she grabbed it and looked at the marks "417" and said "oh, no k mark $20.00"
I paid and left a happy man, 7.8 grams of 10k gold. Picked up the nuggets at another sale, some nice little pickers.

Overall a nice weekend to be out and spent about $100.00 for everything including lunch and a six pack for tonight.

Happy hunting!

417 = 41.7% = 10k..... 583 = 58.3% = 14K (European 14K gold is 585 = 58.5% = 14K) .... 750 = 75% = 18K

Sweet little Tivoli, that wouldn't have lasted the first day around here, much less still be there the next weekend. Nice score on the AU too. The little HP was a no brainer. Good going!

Those Tivoli's sound really nice. I was surprised the 1st time I gave one a listen.
Great find!
