Well.... Of course somebody can fix it for $100. Also if I will go to Saks Fifth Avenue - they will fix for $1,000. But I am so lucky that found some guy who would do it for me just for $10 per item. I was looking for somebody for fixing sterling items purchased for sale and I found him. Also I had several silver plated and pewter Tea Sets from some Estate sale and almost all items were with a lot dents. All these sets were as part of big lot I bought and I was going give then to donation, because they weren't expensive and I didn't want to spend money for fixing, but my jeweler just explained me how I could fix them myself.</p><p>[USER=118]@kardinalisimo[/USER] Here is some similar idea.
