<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 8916255, member: 51&quot;]These estate runners often miss stuff.&nbsp; I was at a sale a few years ago and there was a big box of &quot;silverplate&quot; sitting on the floor in a box, candelabras, some broken, etc -- I think they were asking $20 for the lot, no takers the first two days of the sale.&nbsp; No one wants silverplate anymore. Last day was half price and I decided to poke around in the box.&nbsp; Right away I saw one or two sterling pieces (!) suddenly a no-brainer at $10. </p><p><br /></p><p>I mention this because one of the estate runners was a fairly well known person in the business.&nbsp; All I can think of is maybe they became overwhelmed with the organization of the sale, they gave some underling instructions to &quot;pull aside anything marked &quot;Sterling&quot;, but of course there are other marks indicating sterling. Anyway, I wasn&#039;t complaining.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cool.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
