<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 2510974, member: 5515"]Well...I have goodies to show you all. I'm kinda pinching myself today with the luck I've been having lately. As mentioned, this one was a gamble for me. To those of you trying your luck, I offer this advice to you: go with your instincts. You are going to make mistakes, but as long as you learn along the way you will do well. I forgot to mention that I had the seller throw one more item in for me that I thought was going to be real. So, here's what I got for $35 (the dinner bells are marked sterling hecho en mexico but I forgot to upload the photo):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]267902[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267903[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267904[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267905[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267906[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267907[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And just so I don't clog up the forum, I got this one in the mail today. This was <u>100%</u> a gamble (and I certainly could have been wrong) as there was never a chance the seller was going to find these marks.
