Thift Store Urban Mining

Postby GA-Silver » Thu Dec 30, 2010 6:58 pm

I went to the thift store the other day and scored some finds. I bound a 925 marked herribone chain for $4.50. I figured it weighs app. .30 of an oz. I also bought some yellow brass and copper nicknacks for $5.50, which I immediately sold at the scrap metal shop 2 miles away for $8.00. That throwed me only $2.50 in the silver chain.
Its like urban mining!

I call it thrift store prospecting.
