<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 2464428, member: 5515&quot;]Great questions again. I really hope you get the chance to try again. Here&#039;s the answers:</p><p><br /></p><p>-Price of lot: just under $100</p><p><br /></p><p>-Value of #8 and #10 just based on what I saw: honestly for this one I needed the photo to confirm what I saw. It was just a hunch that what I was looking at could be real silver. Let&#039;s put it another way: if you said to me &quot;hey i&#039;ll give you $1000 to figure out if that piece is real silver, could you do it&quot;? The answer is yes, I could research a lot online and eventually I would find the pattern. But that takes time and energy. My method: if it&#039;s not too complex to solve the puzzle myself (think flatware lots) then I solve it without extra info. But what I do is I ask about anything that <u>might</u> be real, and let the seller make it easy for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>-How many grams of silver would I have estimated: I actually did an estimate before buying, because I need to stay profitable. I actually underestimated (because they arrived today, and I&#039;m very happy). I&#039;ll give the details below, but estimating weight is pretty important. Lot&#039;s of ways to do it, the best method is look up the exact same one when possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>-What will you do with the plated pieces? I&#039;ve decided not to talk about that on the forum anymore, a lot of people tried to offer me their advice and I just don&#039;t want to get into the plated pieces. It&#039;s in another one of my posts, but I don&#039;t want to re-stir that pot. I will say that you need to choose how to spend the time in your life, and everyone is going to factor the value of their own time and energy a bit differently...</p><p><br /></p><p>-When do you think you will get these? Best question, because I got them today!</p><p><br /></p><p>So....I&#039;m batting 1000 on my analysis of this lot which is bittersweet (because who doesn&#039;t love finding unexpected silver). I am happy to report I was off on my value estimate, with the current price of silver I did better than I originally expected. Here&#039;s the photos, everything else in the lot was plated:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]265644[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265645[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265646[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265647[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265648[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265649[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265650[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
