I haven't been doing this for too long, but I do this year round, every weekend, and both Saturday and Sunday. I go to a lot of sales. Today was the best sale I have ever been too.

I saw it listed earlier in the week. It was in a really nice neighborhood and had some interesting items listed. I noticed later in the week, the listing was simplified and some items were removed. I got there early and they said I could look around.

The woman handed me a clam shell candy dish and said: "This is nice, it's sterling". It turns out the middle-aged lady who lived there was moving and the two people there were helping. I asked for jewelry and they said: "Yes, let me go get the owner." She came down with a jewelry box and gave it to me. I immediately saw the bangles and they looked good to me right away, but I thought there was no way they could be real. I put together my pile, and could have kept looking but I wanted to close the transaction before others started showing up. I paid $125 for everything! Every tests good too.

- 2 22K Thai Children's Bangles: marked .915099 (YES!) - they weigh 29grams

Yes, me too. I'm going to keep those.

I like the bangles because they are worth about 6 times the value of the large clam. :)
 

Well done. great GS day.
 

Nice haul! Love the gold!!
 

Nice pile of treasures there Bill. Congrats! No sales for me this weekend.
 

Thanks everyone...I took it easy today but did manage to pick up these 3 Artemide lamps for $50. Shocked at how much they sell for.
