<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 3084142, member: 36"]Today started a little slow, thankfully. There was an estate sale starting at 7AM, but it was a company I avoid. (as in "if you can't say anything nice" avoid) Went to a fundraiser tag sale almost in Massachusetts instead, at a horse rescue. Spent $10 on a small 14k horse pendant and a Sadie Greene necklace. They were really nice (and I think bored) and even offered me a seat and a cookie. Just see that estate sale bunch offering so much as a kind word. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then off to the charity thrift not too far away from the sale. I left something behind last week after paying for it...I thought ... and they'd been sold to someone else. Scored two sterling bracelets, weighted sterling candlesticks (straight to melt pile), a late Victorian print, a Danish Christmas whatsit, and a wooden box for $20. Sold the print in the parking lot of the thrift for $8 - paid $5. (LOL) A lady was coming back to buy it and I'd just bought it. My old friend Karen was there too by coincidence and she said "I know you sell stuff." So.. a fast 60% profit beats potentially getting stuck with it. Then off to West Hartford and a 14k angel necklace, weight not much, for $2.25. The sterling earrings with a weird mark were $6. The menorah was in a gift basket on sale for $7.50; it's lucite with a glass base. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]292881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]292882[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
