I just wanted to say thank you!!
I found this thread a few weeks ago... and it stuck in my mind when I was at a yard sale saturday.
For 50¢ I bought a gold chain and pair of earrings....I went to the Gold Buyers store in our mall...and walked out with $98.45.
That prompted my husband to look for an old jewelry box that I swore I lost in our move...but he swore he saw it.
Well he found it yesterday!!!!
We sold jewelry that I thought I had lost years ago.... all of it was from our high school years...so a few charms, gold chains.. and our class rings that we never wore even then.
Back up to the mall we went...and walked out with $1192.10 that time
A friend of mine was going through the stuff with me as I was pulling out stuff I was keeping.... and she had just sold stuff to another place a few months ago...she was telling me I should get like $300-400... based on what she sold then. She was shocked when she heard how much I got.
My kids now have all their school clothes, supplies, and I restocked my freezer and pantry for the winter. (plus I'm now hoping to fly out to visit a friend for the weekend...but I'll spring that on DH later

)
