Well I managed to make it to my 1st ever Estate Sale!
Yeah, you can bet I wasn't after the Furniture or Tchotchkes!! I was there for some silver. Funny thing is this, I wasn't to sure how Estate sales work. Like they are strict on the start time. So today it started at 8am, so I showed up at 7:30am to find that there was already 5 people waiting outside. Of course they all where much older than me and all of them where Males. So about 7:45 am the door opened and a lady stepped out and handed out post it notes with number writen on them. You had to wear the postage note.... I guess this was because it was a first come First serve sale. But anyways number 6 wasn't bad, by 7:55 there where 25 people in line. Of course I am scoping out all 24, thinking that they are here for the same reason I was....
So the doors open and In I go, I walk all through the house and not one time did I see any "COINS" like what was mentioned on the ad. So I find the person that was in charge, once I found her I asked where the coins where at. She said " your the 1st one to ask about coins, they are locked up, I will bring them out.
Now is it just me or do y'all find it odd to that out of 25 people only 1 person was intrested in the COINS. So she makes it back with the coins, there where folders and folders of coins all dated 1970 and newer. At this point i was feeling like this was a waste of time. Then It got my eye, a small bag that was inside another bag. I said can I see the small bag?
Found em, I said how much you asking for the dimes, she said $4🤔 I said ok I'll take em. Handed her a 20 and she said, I dont have change yet, I said well what else you got? Then she pulled out this.
How much? She said "$3.00. I SAID what else cause you still owe me $13 dollars back. She said I have these but I do not know the Price of them
So I quickly pulled up apmex and showed her a price.
🤔
I said that price is retail, she then said how about $15 each, I said I'll take em all. So I grabed these 2 as well
Now did anyone catch what just happened? 1st off, someone who is in charge of an Estate sale should know what everything is worth and what to sale it for. But I showed her a Morgan Design by accident, when I keyed in Morgan on Apmex website that was the 1st thing thay pulled up. Luckly no one else was there for the SILVER!!!!
so for $115 USD (this includes tax as well) I managed to pull all of this out of circulation!
IT WAS A GOOD DAY FOR THE stack...
I think I will start going to more Estate sales 😉🤑😎.
Thanks for stopping by, have a awesome weekend.
