Good evening steemers!!
One thing i'm still learning, never overlook the little stuff. I typically jet right for any tools, outdoor equipment, or motorized items at sales. This particular time however, I watched a women toss bags of jewelry into a box labeled ".25 cents a bag".
I decided to go through the box and started realizing alot of the ear rings and necklaces was in fact gold and silver! After thinking about it, I offered her $4 for the whole box. She was super motivated to sale, so she took it. We came home and went through the whole box, finding 10k and 14k gold pieces, as well as sterling silver pieces. After bagging them and labeling them, we went to a local jewelry buyer and sold them. After selling it all, we made.... $128! On top of it all, my wife kept a few pieces pictured below. I polished them with metal polish and they came out great!
Before. It was so tarnished it almost looked like brass.
After!

After!
At the end of the day it was a win win win! We made $128, the jeweler was able to make money, and my wife got new jewelry as well! Lesson: don't be afraid to look at jewelry. Haha!

I'm sure your wife loved the jewelry!;) ;) :)
She did!! I love how the little things make her face light up. ;)
Excellent find!
Keep an eye open for the older cell phones. I bought one for 25 cents and the inside had thick 24K gold coatings.
Great tip, @susieisms! I'll keep that in mind
Dang that's a good find! If you search for key words such as moving sales you can normally find very motivated sellers and get high quality equipment for cheap!
Good find and nice profits enjoy! Buy Steem with it lol
Thanks, @bitcoinflood! Moving sales are the best!
Great advice, more profit for when Steem catches up with btc, lol
Good for you. Great deals
Thanks, @jetblake!
