<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 854453, member: 210&quot;]I take a chance a lot on smaller, inexpensive items.&nbsp; At the flea market this weekend, I did buy some vintage jewelry that was not perfect:&nbsp; a Thelma Deutsche pin missing the pin stem for a dollar, a Weiss brooch where a stone is somehow damaged underneath a little, $3, a West Germany triple strand glass necklace that needs a chain extender, $2.50, a huge Florenza necklace missing one stone, $3.... I wonder if I should have left them.&nbsp; My one jewelry guy is pretty hard-line about stuff, but he has good stuff.&nbsp; When I do buy a mistake, my husband consoles me and tells me that&#039;s how you learn.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I do regret not buying a retro emerald and diamond ring, a cameo of the Birth of Venus in Florence when I was there, but not much else.&nbsp; The regret of what I don&#039;t buy outweighs the regrets of what I did buy, so I am ahead.&nbsp; And passing on that retro ring allowed me to purchase a better one years later.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I pretty much jump on anything I want the first go round because it will be gone if I wait.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
