Tiny silver

[insontis]

Hit a bunch of sales this last weekend.. only found silver at the first two and got skunked the rest, though I did get some good deals on things for the home. Nothing to write home about, but I'm in a sharing mood.



Not sure if you can see, but the pin is stamped hecho in Mexico with the eagle symbol with a number 3 inside dating it to 1950-1970 roughly, and being from Taxco. Paid $0.25 for it and a Ziploc full of jewelry. $3 for the pendant.

Hey, you came home with silver. Not a bad day in my book.

Yeah but after thanking of sales I hit, lol. Well either way at least I had something to show. That pendant was heavier than it looked at about 12 grams.. was first sale of the day and buyer told me to make offer. I let them price it at three.. but in hindsight it would have been mine for $2 or maybe even $1..

I like it. I'm happy when I find a little silver at anytime. I didn't even go out down here, it basically rained all weekend (still raining) and the inside sales didn't sound like they were worth wasting my time with. I scored a nice tiny silver piece on ebay though. I'll post about it on the ebay forum tonight or tomorrow. I think it's a worthy little, score.

It looks like the pendant is silpada paisley. Definetly worth a premium. Good buys!

Anddd we have a winner - Good eye! Just looked it up on ebay and you seem to be 100% correct! People are listing from $30 - 50 in general, excellent! I was thinking around $15-20 for the butterfly and $10-15 for the pendant + shipping, but this changes things!

Great eye! That mark is not hard to miss. I did!

Definitely. I knew I had a good buy in silver, but silly me dismissed it as "925 Thailand" and a nice looking pendant. Now to stick a chain with it and outsell the 50 active listings of it on eBay

I saw Thailand and dismissed it too. I'll take note from here on out.
