<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 242766, member: 78&quot;]Hi Komo,</p><p>&nbsp; i have seen people throw sterling silver sets into the trash since they do not want to polish them.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" />. These did not sell at the sale so out they went. I did not see them at the sale so perhaps an after thought. One woman had a sale and had 15 Wedgwood saucers for sale at 5¢ each. They did not sale so out to the curb they went. I picked them up at the curb and sold them for 35 dollars each. I used to do more trash picking but the last year I have been off my legs. The stuff I found just walking around was amazing. Four years ago my neighbor threw out 30 to 40 pieces of white Westmoreland glass. 20 pieces of it were common pieces but they sold for a few bucks each at my garage sale. 10 pieces sold for over 20 bucks each. One sold at auction for 150 dollars. Down here, most people retired and ditched all of their good stuff when they moved. When I lived near a city which was going down hill. The stuff I found was magical. When I worked in North Jersey in a depressed area, the stuff that went into the trash was heartbreaking. I saw thousands of stained glass windows and doors broken up and put into the back of trash trucks. 3&quot; thick solid mahogany doors into the trash truck. Stacks and stacks of pottery and dishes and God knows what else into the truck. As these large old Victorian houses were broken up into 12 or 15 apartments out went the stuff to the curb. </p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
