[QUOTE="KSW, post: 1697551, member: 8708"]I used to feel guilty, now I don't. Is that bad?:hilarious: My rationale is that if I find a white gold bracelet that the professional seller tells me is silver :angelic::shame:and he accepts £8 for it that's his look out. It's his job to know. If it's a charity shop or car boot sale, they have every opportunity to get something checked out and valued before selling it, most jewellers will do a quick check for free and if you need the real experts you come on here. Some of my best finds have come from catastrophically tangled joblots and sorting through the filth and broken glass at car boot sales. If they couldn't be bothered to untangle or sort I have no sympathy. I've probably sold stuff undervalued because I didn't know but that's my loss and no one else's fault. Still to make a profit on my Tokyo poo pendant and my *ahem* 'family jewels' dodgy glass candlestick though.............[/QUOTE]
