I left my name and phone number at one multi-family garage sale
when the lady said she had more at her home
and wanted to get rid of all of it before she moves to Florida...
One can only hope.... ;>)

Nice catch Bill!!! Hopefully you'll score the Florida lot too!
Have too make myself up some cards someday..
 

Nice haul. Sales are starting to wind down in my area, only went to 2 this weekend & no precious metals. I did score a laser bore sighter for a quarter, a brand new never worn leather coat in my size for $12, & 2 nice watercolors for $5 each. The wife hung the watercolors & I'll wear the coat so no real profit there.

I bought some gold from a local antique dealer on Sunday that I'll make around $120 on & scored about $200 worth of gold earrings for $9 at the antique mall on monday so the week wasn't a total bust. I got the wife a new digital camera for Xmas(she dropped the old one in a creek in October) so I hope to start putting some pictures of my finds up after the new year.
 

Nice finds Bill. I haven't scored on any gold or silver jewelry lately but I did find a few sterling souvenir spoons this past weekend, got 3 for $5. Also found a nice Irish Blackthorn walking cane for $3.
 

nice finds Bill, btw My name is also Bill lol..

and for the $112 you might need to multiply by 85%-90% by the refinery
