<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 201432, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> The old adage sell it or hoard it. I have seen too many fine things melted down, never to be seen again. I had a very old set of sterling sold it a girl who said it was a match to her Grandmothers set and could she please buy it. I sold it to her. A week later I over heard her telling another clerk about the steal she scored last week. Yes it was the same flatware I sold to her for 250 dollars. She scrapped for 400. I got my revenge on her. When I saw her a week or two later I asked about how she was liking her silver. I told her I had a man come into the store a few days ago and was interested in the set. He offered a grand for the set and I would give the guy her number if she was interested in selling it. I never went into the business for just the price. I went into the business for the beauty of old things never just for a quick profit. I have lived too long.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
