[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 892093, member: 31"]This guy came into the store yesterday afternoon with a bag full of stuff. He is someone I met in the spring when he was doing a cleanout sale for a house he was flipping - I got those two cello bows, some Royal Copenhagen, etc. The stuff in the bag was the only stuff he had left from that house - he's already flipped two houses since then. So anyways, he had a few pieces of silver plate, some brass Dansk candle sticks, a couple of fountain pens and a few other things, including this chain. I looked at the chain but couldn't see a mark, figured it was fake silver. I gave him $15 - I figured the Dansk was worth that. So I got the stuff home and found a 14K mark on the chain. No other mark I can find. I think it's pretty old. My question - what do you think? Is it real? It weighs 15.7 grams. Which leads to another question - why do people pay more than scrap on ebay for chains like this? Assuming it's gold, should I do an auction or a BIN?
