Hello everyone. An estate sale was posted last week in my town that sounded really good. It was in a nice neighborhood and it had a lot of goodies advertised. It was being run by the main local estate sale company so I knew the prices would be high. There aren't many options for deals around here so I decided to go anyways. I got there late on the first day but there was still plenty of stuff. The sterling items were all tagged and priced too high so I had to pass on it. I did pick up a marked wishbone pendant for $3. It's marked 10kt and weighs 1.3g. I remembered seeing a pin with a similar design and thought it could be gold as well. I couldn't get back until three days later but the pin was still there. I got it for $3 (25% off). It's 3.5g and it has a weird 18k double stamp shown in the 2nd pic. Has anyone seen something like this before? It ls a nice and rare score for me!
So on Friday after work I stopped at a couple of sales before they closed. I pulled up to one house and realized I had been there before. They always have high prices on cheap Avon jewelry. I decided that I might as well have a look since I was already there. I went to the jewelry table and started looking at rings. I found three 14k rings and several sterling rings! I was super stoked as finding such nice rings. I gave them to the lady to pay and she stopped and said she had to check them out before she could sell them. She pulled out a loupe and started checking them! She pulled away all of the gold rings and said she couldn't sell them. WTH
Why would she even put them in the sale if she didn't want to sell them? Anyways she tried to charge me way too much for the sterling rings so I just walked away. That address is now on my garage sale blacklist. I will never go there again.
Thanks for looking!
