<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 2916944, member: 5515&quot;]Great finds and great flips cxgirl!</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a lot of sneaky value in scrapping. I&#039;ve had good success with brush/mirror sets, candle holders, candelabras etc. etc. The more you purchase weighted items, the greater the sense of value. Sometimes I have an item I know I will make a profit on, and other times I gamble on a few known silver items in hope that a larger lot will yield other weighted or solid items. As with most gambles, the lower your investment the higher your potential return. There&#039;s definitely a difference in quality/weight of brush/mirror sets that you can usually assess based on visual cues of a listing. Candelabras have yielded some of my best scrapping results. I feel zero remorse for scrapping items, even if they are kind of pretty. If they&#039;re banged up, they&#039;re almost always worth more to scrap. And if they are truly beautiful, they either command a higher value unscrapped, or I&#039;m being unreasonable of my appreciation of the craftsmanship...The old saying goes, it&#039;s worth what someone is willing to pay for it. For weighted items, and especially items that like a brush that someone is supposed to use (I personally don&#039;t by 90 year old hair brushes), the true value often lies in the scrap value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
