<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 67694, member: 210"]LOL! It has been a rare summer, and I will not be getting out much more due to caring for my 89 year-old uncle who just had hernia surgery. Here in Atlantic City area many people are moving and we are having a lot of fly-by-night "estate sale companies" setting up shop. This particular sale I got to at 12:30 p.m. the only day. They had the jewelry in bags marked $10, $5, and $2. I asked the lady at the jewelry table if they had sold much jewelry, and she said she didn't know, she just got there. She said their "jewelry lady" who sorts and checks the jewelry never made it to the sale that day. Ding Ding Ding. So the lady who sorted jewelry never looked at it and put the new blingy rhinestone stuff in the $10 bag. The 14k and silver stuff was in the $5 bag (got more sterling stuff, too, need to photograph.) I also got a freshwater pearl necklace with a 14k clasp from a $2 bag. People were busy looking at the Tupperware and didn't feel like going through the piles of zip lock bags. I went through them three times with my loupe. I don't know if the one cuff link has damage, I have to loupe it more carefully, look at the black background. I never found 14k cuff links, this year I have found two sets so far..... </p><p>I went to another sale first that I had gone to on the Thursday it started, and most jewelry was $5. I went back that Saturday, the last day, and it was all half-priced. I went there first and found the 14k still at the second sale. I have to say, my antique malls have been getting more savvy, unfortunately. They are not catching the Napier pieces, though, which are popular since the book I have in the pic came out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
