<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 370225, member: 5515"]Bakersgma, my observation of the stores I'm going to, the sorting staff probably wouldn't recognize even the most common silver makers. My best guess is they get a very basic training on what to look for, but the fact that they are screening all these different categories (housewares, furniture, flatware, electronics, shoes and clothing etc. etc. etc.) leads to imperfections of stocking. Even if they knew everything about every category, it is more profitable for the company to <u>quickly</u> get the new stock out on the floor rather than to spend precious time sifting for one sterling fork. I'm just capitalizing on the reality of that business model. They probably catch 95% of the valuable stuff before it ever reaches the store, but because they turn so much product, that 5% is definitely worth my time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
