First Silpada Score!

[palidin20603]

35 inch long oxidized sterling silver chain. Took 30 minutes of searching to find it on ebay. The hallmark is on the lobster claw and the the little charm that hangs on the necklace. Look for this arrowhead.. This chain was $99 retial, but used on ebay sells from $50 - $75 or so. HH

AWESOME! Make sure you find the retired number to put in the title. If you search Ebay enough you will find the year it was retired, what year it was in the catalog and what page it was on. I always put that in my auctions.

So how much did you pay for it?

N1506 Paid $22

Oh, bummer! Life lesson. Silpada is so ugly, and for some reason it sells like crazy. Keep your eye out for that arrow. It's a good seller, especially around the holidays. If you can find any silpada boxes at yard sales, grab them. They add to the value of your piece.

Just accepted an offer of $55. Fast money seems prudent on Ebay in these slow summer months. HH

Nice! I just bought one off eBay. It was $20 but thanks to this thread I recognized the design! With eBay bucks paid $9.45 for it. Looking forward to listing it again. They sold if as scrap silver signed. Maker unknown.

A lot of scrappers don't realize they are sitting on a gold mine. I got a few silpada necklaces in my jars. One from a thrift store for a whooping $10. (They must have thought that was expensive.)

It seems to go this way with a lot of people. Signed stuff does not sell much higher above spot in the thrift stores, most mark them off of sterling prices. , stick a name on a piece, it means nothing to most people! I love turning over a piece and seeing a name! Norway, Denmark! It's great! Unless it says china!!

"Chinese silver"... Causes neurological disorders and is probably what killed Beethoven.

Chinese silver kills my bank roll when it sticks to a magnet after I buy it! Unless it's antique.

Wow thanks for the post. I had bought a bag of misc silver jewelry from a rummage a few weeks ago for $2 and had 5 items with that symbol on it. 3 ring, 1 earring set, and a necklace. Made looking the up much easier now that I know the maker.
