<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 1253599, member: 5515&quot;]Well, today turned out to be a truly amazing day, and when the day began I couldn&#039;t have guessed it. Where to begin...</p><p><br /></p><p>So last night I was doing my usual online hunting, and stumbled across a listing that was a no-brainer for me. It was a bin of flatware, a couple bowls etc. But the item that jumped out to me was a beaten up compote, and I felt very confident that was going to be weighted sterling...It was that first clue that led me to something more.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the particular site I&#039;m looking on, there&#039;s an easy way to see all the items a particular seller is offering. So I searched them, and I saw they were listing some flatware also (a small set) and based on that info I contacted them last night to see if I could buy both items...Here&#039;s where the waiting was excruciating.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was waiting until late last evening, when finally the seller contacted me and said it was all still available. It was too late to pick it up, so I&#039;d have to wait until the morning. I offered my contact info and told the person that I would definitely show up in the morning and buy the two listings.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the morning comes, and I head to the general area where the person lives. I figure while I&#039;m waiting I&#039;ll head to the local thrift store. My goodness I&#039;m glad I did, because sitting there in plain view (and to be honest, to me it almost looked like stainless steel) is this ridiculous, heavy, beautiful 720 gram 95% silver bowl by K. UYEDA, for $5!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m not greedy (although it may appear so) and that score alone is one of my best for the year. But I was wishing so hard that I&#039;d get to close the other deal. The short version: no communication in the morning, or early afternoon, and finally when I&#039;m almost done from work I get a call, we arrange a time, and I complete a second huge score of the day. Total for everything in the photos: $45</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]216069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216070[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216071[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216072[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216076[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216077[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216078[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
