Message:: [QUOTE="MrNate, post: 896016, member: 5515"]On to story #2. I've been quite happily expanding my online searching for silver. I've developed some great techniques, and I'm pleasantly surprised with my finds so far. Today was no exception. Yesterday I saw a post advertising a "Silver Tea Set" which looked promising. It was posted for a very low sum ($75). I messaged the seller and asked if I could see a photo of the bottom of one of the pieces. I had to do this because they live two hours away from me, and it's not worth my time to drive that far unless I know what it was. Later that night, the buyer basically informed me that they realized the set was much more valuable, as they saw the sterling mark on the bottom. My heart sank immediately, but then they messaged me with a higher price and asked if I was interested. I'm not going to mention what I paid, but I got a nice deal, especially considering what the set was. Drove out 2 hours today, paid the $$$$, and got my own "not so little" teapot set. The listing also came with a very nice and very large Reed and Barton plated tray that I'll sell to cover some of my expense. I hope you enjoy the photos of the "farm fresh" tea set. I've clearly got some polishing to take care of. The set weighs 3606 grams.
