<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9422259, member: 10944"]If it ain’t silver it’s trash. That’s what 99.9% of people in my area seem to think. Well except the one guy I saw buy every plated item in an auction for really high prices whose plan it was go scrap it all for what silver content there was. I realize it can be recovered but it seems he greatly overpaid despite being an old timer who looked like he knew what he was doing otherwise. Everyone else thinks if it’s plated it’s not worth a dime though. I get so much nice plated stuff for so cheap. Big trays do sell well in my experience too. I mean not the mass produced American 20th century stuff necessarily but the older nicer stuff. I’ve been doing well on plated for a while and will continue with it until others get hip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
