[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 77152, member: 25"]I really was not in it for the money (although it is always welcome) but for the hunting and gathering, the thrill of discovery, the joy of unrestricted picking. I tried to do my best with the money side, but the real pleasure was finding stuff and then finding out what I had found. Also arranging the operation with all the people involved and making sure it was interesting and profitable for them as well was a good exercise. The selling part, where some stuff will fetch less than I expected (not a problem as it was all cheap) and some will fetch rather more than I expected will be the last bit of excitement. I might buy myself some nice pieces of household silver, mostly for use and decoration, but also as a readily cashable investment 'just in case'. Now, what to buy? It is a pleasant enough problem. :-)[/QUOTE]
