<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 250823, member: 210"]Evelyb, I'm glad somebody is finding jewels. Slow here. Our estate sales seem to have stopped listing/photographing jewelry if they have it. Evidently I missed a huge jewelry sale that went unadvertised as being such a few weeks ago.... people are really cut throat here, as I've stated previously.</p><p><br /></p><p>I skipped a community yard sale at a newer upscaley development this week. Too tired, too hot... and those developments are usually QVC and HSN type stuff.... I did go to one of my antique malls today and found a few little things, nothing to really show....but as I was bringing them to the counter as I found them, the woman serving as the cashier kept saying "That's really nice." "Where did she find that?" "I didn't see that!" The last thing I took up to the register was a 14k gold opal ring (which was priced as such, some chips to some of the opals, prongs crooked..) but the price was okay, $185 less 25% because the store was having a promotion, anything with red, white, or blue on it was 25% off. So the cashier woman looks at the price on the bottom of the ring box and angrily SLAMS it on the counter. I guess she didn't see this ring, either. When I told her I expected 25% off she said "no.' I then said "What color are these opals flashing?" She then said "Fine, I don't care." Nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
