MY GOLDEN NUGGET FINDS!!
I am sure if you follow some of the tips in my other articles on collecting YOU will get your share of GOLDEN NUGGETS. Here are some more of my tips to start collecting for FUN & $$$.
Check around your area to locate the flea markets near you. Look up the garage or yard sales in your local papers and plan your shopping list. Take a lot of small dollar bills.with you on any trip. Esate sales you will need some $20 bills but deals are still very reasonable. I search for VINTAGE jewelry so I do use my loupe or magnifying glass. I always ask where the costume jewelry is if I do not see it. Knowledge is very important on YOUR part Knowing the true value of items you want enables you to pick out the gold nuggets. Many vendors or folks at garage & tag sales have LITTLE or NO knowledge of the true value of what you care to obtain. That gives you a huge advantage on high quality item for a low cost. Flea market vendors may or may not realize the value either, so read up on your favorite collect subject. Auctions depend on who else is there to bid against you . If there are a bunch of other collectors or dealers then odds of getting a decent deal is greatly reduced. So It may be woth while to check out different auction houes that offer your items. That way you can figure which place gives you better odds at acquiring items more favorable to you. Here is a 1oK gold filigee style woman's ring that I got at a yard sale for 50 cents. I took it to my local jeweler, he gave me $15, not a bad profit spread. Here is a outstanding LANVIN necklace gold tone value over $200 dollars. Paid only $3 at an tag sale! Here is a beautiful VINTAGE CORO snake chain necklace bought as part of an $40 auction lot. 11-21-08 I got a pair of 14kt screw type ear rings at an Estate Sale today for $2. I took them to my local jewelry store to check it over. They weighed it and I took them up on their offer of $60! I only regret I did not take a photo of the ear rings before I sold them. Just shows that you never know what can pop up when checking out such sales. 02-06-09 I will be updating this page with new GOLDDEN NUGGETS as I discover them in the future. Have a great day of hunting for YOUR treasures. FISHING
