<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 9891886, member: 210"]I learned a lesson when I was at the dollar corner- always check the owner's cases first. An older guy, closer to 90 than 80, came in and the owner was practically giving him the jewelry. He got a Victorian GF etched bangle with garnets, missing one, for $25. The owner gave him a cultured sea pearl strand with a broken sterling clasp for $5. A shell cameo vintage compact, sterling rings, Native American pieces, all by weight. Guy spent $135. Ya just gotta be happy with what the universe gives you. I spent the afternoon fixing, cleaning, and researching the dollar pile stufg, and I will be just fine for the $45 I spent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
