ANOTHER great day at the sales. Stopped at an estate sale advertising sterling an hour early to find I was #19 in line, got a ticket, was told to come back at 8am. Thankfully I drove around and stumbled upon another sale that had literally just started. Grabbed a handful of jewelry for $1 and I knew I scored big with that one. Ran back to the estate sale to find they already let everyone inside! Oh well... I went in to find a table with sterling priced at market value. I went to the kitchen to see if the organizers "missed any sterling" and if the 30 people already there missed it too... Somehow amazingly I instantly spotted sterling in a box of misc kitchenwares marked "3.00 lot". Grabbed a German beer mug and paid the cashier the $3.25 for it all and left happy. Stopped by a church rummage sale on my way home and scored a few more pieces of jewelry and 2 records.
