Message:: [QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1187352, member: 10944"]This I’ve done. Well not 24k but gold. Bought a massive like 50-80lb box of “jewelry” donated to a thrift store for $250. Manager was short staffed on people who were qualified to sort all his built up inventory so he sold me a large Rubbermaid bin full. Lots of shit but some gold, bunch of silver, and some good costume. Was fun to sort through. My only regret was not going back and buying more of them before he got fired for doing exactly that. I wasn’t the first he sold them to. At least that’s what I heard from an employee about his firing. I felt bad, he was a nice guy and had a real issue he was solving. Corporate thrift chain though and I guess they didn’t take kindly to it. I used to buy junk jars from thrift stores too. Once I got two vases filled with single and broken earrings. I actually pulled a good amount of AU out of those.  One other time bought a junk jar of pins and could see one 14k pin in the bunch before buying. It was the only one but melt for it was more than double what I paid for the whole thing.[/QUOTE]
