<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2423744, member: 36"]Hear hear ... or here here. I've got the same problem with most thrifts closed. I could donate them to the Sally but wouldn't give Ill Will any jools right now. (Those guys locally at least are sending all the jewelry on line and jacking their high prices up even higher.)</p><p><br /></p><p>That said... I found a tag sale this morning. A former dealer who has/had two a year is moving in with her son. Her prices are usually retail or close to it, but I managed to spend $30. It started at 7AM and I knew I'd never make it. Dumb body woke me up at 06:45 and I think I got there around 8. Spent $30 on a pair of Israeli bronze candle sticks (no marks), a copper bracelet (probably straight into my hoard), a loose bead of no renown (to avoid needing change) and the goofiest sterling and agate pin I've ever seen. I'm not sure I can list it with a straight face. The little kid picture is acrylic with what looks like a sharpie signature. The framer's mark on the back has the old style word and number phone and the address is in the Diamond District. I doubt it's anthing good, but it was a $5 rescue at the ReStore.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]263965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]263966[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
