I’m licking my wounds
.I’m licking my wounds from Saturday afternoon. I actually found a yard sale—something I haven’t done in 15 years. I had a hard time locating it until I asked a yard guy for directions. I got there, and the woman clearly sells jewelry regularly. Everything was priced at top dollar—nothing amazing, mostly knockoffs. Some pieces were marked as silver or vintage, and they weren’t. She told me she has a lot of Whatnot customers, had someone coming the next day to help her with an auction, and was planning to start doing her own. I tried Brad’s suggestion and asked if she had anything else she might want to sell. She brought out a tray, and there was a really nice signed Carol Lee necklace. I asked the price, she said $20, and I told her I’d take it. I kept looking for about an hour, thinking maybe I could find another good deal if the price made sense. I did pick out a few more things. When she totaled everything, it came to $190 at full price. I said no, I just wanted the necklace and a pair of earrings. Meanwhile, she had been giving other people deals but wanted to charge me full price. She told me I had said I was buying everything and then refused to sell me anything at all. She got upset, started raising her voice, and wouldn’t even sell me the necklace. But when one door closes another one opens

@Carla Kohler I source constantly, estate sales (look for local ones in your area) online auctions , whatnot ofc , garage sales, church bizarres, any vintage stores that sell jewelry, I prefer charity vintage you get - better deal and you are helping the charities, also a write off by the way!

@Carla Kohler so tricks with estates sales, get there early, they frequently will give you a number in priory to tour, think about what you want to pay don’t go over leave it, if it’s over your budget, never good to chase their pricing, make a lower offer always, they want to sell everything, so you are in charge, bundle if they will allow for a lower price point per piece. Always bring your loop, hand black light so you can test and cash. Know the feel of silver, gold and plat. Good luck😊 If you buy online auctions, again stick to budget, take pics ahead of auctions, check comps, and check weight and details, damage, about the pieces. Sometimes, you can get great deals on special jewelry. Good luck to you hope this helps!

Show your diamond in the rough! Before and after!
I want to see your diamonds in the rough, the pieces that you knew that once you cleaned them or repaired them it would give new life to your jewel! This was one of my latest buys from Brad some may like its natural patina but I felt it would shine again with a safe and gentle cleaning. This is Native American Sterling, with a Butterscotch Amber teardrop pendant with oak leaves. You could barely see the beauty thru the dark black tarnish.
