4 community yard sales in my area this weekend, starting at 8 o’clock about the same area and my daughter had Soccer at 12 o’clock. Left the house at seven! Took my oldest to hunt for treasures. She likes going with me for about three hours. And then her attitude kicks in and she gets bored. So this is some of what we found.
First was this racing compass for a boat. Brand new in the box for $10. They look like they sell for around $70-150 .
Next was some junk geneva watches with a seiko. Paid $25 for all and kept the seiko on the right. Now I have twins with different eyes. Haha
Another house had costume jewelry, Joan Rivers, like four pieces of that. They were $2. And also 4 sterling candle sticks for $15 total. He mentioned his wife had a watch she wanted to sell but she was at the sales so they would call me when She got back.
(Then they called) later on.
Another sale have this Art Nouveau little glass container. I guess its called. And a ship. I couldn’t believe this was sitting there at 10:30. I guess no one knew it was sterling silver. 65 g for a buck.
Another house, a dollar there’s a box of fossils. And a pair of Gucci sunglasses for $.50. I’ll trade the fossils with a collector later this week.
Then the call back... ask if I can stop over there about 11: 15. Text my wife and tell her I love her but I’m probably going to be late!!
Bought a broken Lucian Piccard ladies 14 K diamond watch. Gonna scrap that. Then she asked if I buy gold Jewelry? Calmly said Ill take a look at whatever you have... 🤪 spent $1100. Now the one ring has a 1 ct diamond set in 18k with sapphire and diamond accents. But not 100% its a real stone. Its testing good on my cheap tester but Kay Jeweler said its White sapphire. And only for small stones are real.
My friends shop opens on monday so will find out for sure then. Its not in the right box!
Also my daughters team won. 7-0. She took her first shot on goal but missed. It was fun! My oldest daughter had attitude until about the time we get home at 1:30! Felt good to get out for a couple hours since getting back from the hospital. 1st time really since June.
