<p>[QUOTE=&quot;&#039;Nuff_Said, post: 8616, member: 181&quot;]Thanks everyone, and nice finds all!</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s been a busy few days so far. Catching up on my day job emails and work in general.</p><p><br /></p><p>Greg, so sorry to hear the loss of your tiger&#039;s eye pot. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Baker, I had no idea what &quot;busman&#039;s holiday&quot; meant until I Googled it. Lol!</p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to scrap that damaged white gold &amp; diamond tennis bracelet posted a few pages back yesterday and it pretty much paid for everything I&#039;ve purchased so far starting from page 9 to current. My jeweler gave me a great deal because of the quality of the stones so I was pretty happy about that. I guess you can say I&#039;m now in the &quot;profit phase&quot; of selling when it comes to the items posted here so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of profit, I was able to sell 1 of the 14 items posted on page 9 for nearly $800 to a UK based silver dealer. That sale was nowhere near my &quot;asking price&quot; but, at this point, whatever all these items sell for, it&#039;s money in the bank! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Baker, do you recall those silver beakers you helped me ID the date code (1770)? I sent images to this UK silver dealer/buyer of those beakers and he was very excited. He offered $2,000 for both, but speaking with my DH regarding his offer, we declined. We have no idea on the value of those items, but we do know whatever silver items we&#039;ve researched so far bearing those coat-of-arms realized very high prices at auction. And of the very few silver pieces that have sold, all were from the first half of the 19th C. and none from the 18th C. Do you think we made a mistake by declining his offer? I ask because we don&#039;t normally deal in antique silver, but know you and many others here have exp in this field.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
