<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 2149251, member: 5515&quot;]Thanks PortableTreasures. And for this one, there&#039;s actually no gamble (at least not in my opinion). A quick online search shows that Gorham 1328 Celeste sterling bowl should weigh around 7.93ozt, so just that bowl has a melt value of approx. $115. Getting $115 for $55= free money. But I get what you are saying, I&#039;m gambling on the rest (risk free gambling).</p><p><br /></p><p>So why did I pick #8. My logic is I&#039;m picking from items I view as most likely to be silver, without adding any clunky-ness to the shipping (since the other three most likely are flat I figure throw in #8 even though I think it&#039;s unlikely to be sterling it doesn&#039;t add to the size of the shipping). I definitely could have gone with #14 too but I was just trying to keep the transaction very simple for the seller. I want to find the prize (#10 is definitely a prize), try to get it for a good price, and get an opportunity to score a few more potential items without asking for any more details... So I make a price that is good for the seller, an offer that&#039;s easy for them to say yes to, and keep the details short and sweet on the reality that I&#039;m probably grabbing the only goodies in the lot. But the seller still will do just as good (or better) than their original asking price of $50.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
