<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 4472357, member: 10944&quot;]I found an eBay seller once that ran estate sales. They did a sale for an estate where the guy did a lot of work in the oil industry in Egypt. He had tons of really nice, some really heavy Egyptian silver. All hallmarked. I got the feeling the surviving family didn’t realize what it was and that they were selling it online rather than at the sale and maybe not cutting the family in on the proceeds. Not right obviously if my feeling was right. I did score some of the pieces at great prices because even ebayers didn’t want to pay what American sterling of comparable quality would go for. I don’t think I’ve ever scored big silver at an estate sale without sale runner knowing what it was. I got a few heavy pieces of Nordic made flatware once. Random other small bits, nothing big.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
