Hello all. I don't post my picks on here too often, because they seldom measure up to the great stuff you guys find and no matter how hard I try I just can not for the life of me get a pic to upload to this site. I have actually emailed my pics to Dan and I think once Diggumup and they loaded them for me, so if someone wants to help out, send me an email addy and I will send pics to you. Ok, enough of that, here goes with what I got. My first buy wasn't anything special, it is a 2005 Harley Davidson owner's manual. I have good luck selling these on eBay. It was only a quarter. My next purchase was a vintage Dan Wesson grip for a Model 14 or 15 revolver. It was a dollar and I should get $25 or more on eBay. My third purchase of the day was a Jose Ojeda hunting knife. I didn't recognize the name at the time, but I told my wife when I picked it up, "This is either a big deal or absolutely nothing." I am not a knife collector or expert. Once back in the truck my heart pounded as I looked the knife up on my phone and found similar knives with asking prices from $400 to $800. The knives are handmade and I guess no two exactly alike. If someone has more info on the knife, especially if and once pics are posted to get your take on value, I would appreciate it. Even the sheath of the knife is heavy and impressive. It is beautifully tanned and a work of art in and of itself. Oh, I bought it and a couple of local author books for my Father in Law for $5. Next I was able to buy a like new in the box Seiko quartz digital watch model A904-5049, from 1985-ish, from the info I found on the web. The outer cardboard box shows it's age and there is a faint cigarette smell, but the inner plastic display is fine and the watch looks to have never been worn and has it's original band still. There is no paperwork, but there are extra links. The brushing on the stainless steel is perfect, I believe it to be NOS, never worn. Similar models, still in the box did sell on eBay for $149.99, but am wondering what you folks thought of value from my description. My fifth purchase of the day was a 14K gold pendant, still on its cardboard backing in the jewelry box it came in for $2. It weighs 1.7 grams and melts out to more than $40. My 6th and last purchase of the day was a Parker fountain pen, new in the box with refill. I am in no way a pen expert, but again this item looks to have never been used. From looking on eBay, I believe it is a Parker 45 model. It is black and silver with the arrow being gold toned. I am not sure if the nib is gold, plated or otherwise. I do not know how to take the pen down that far to see if it is marked, like others I see on eBay. The Parker was $2 also. So, for a grand total of $15.25, I got a couple of items I know sell on eBay that will net me more than I spent all day, the what I believe is really valuable Ojeda hunting knife and a couple of what look to be new in the box vintage collectibles. I know it is tough without pics, but if anyone can add info, value and what to ask for the knife, the watch and the pen, I would appreciate it. I apologize again for the lack of pics.
