I just purchased a Silver Dansco dime album at auction. I paid very little for it. It only had 6 dimes in it.
They were:
1921...........Key that everyone seen (VF)
1921-D........Key that everyone seen (VG)
1939
1944
1945
1942/41........Key that only I and dad noticed. (VF)

You are starting to steal this thread.

OK - this has absolutely nothing to do with coins but it was a great find nonetheless. I stopped in a consignment resale shop that also does Ebay. They had a bunch of 8 track tapes there. Now I have an older car with an 8 track player in it so I started to look through them. There were all these 8 tracks from the mid to late 80's. I looked it up on my phone and saw the brought good money so I bought 20 of them for 60cents each. SO far I have sold 10 of them and cleared over $1000. The most expensive one to date was a U2 tape from 1988 that sold for $331 - no joking.

So I guess there are deals out there if you look. BTW - the profits went back into my money for stacking

WAY cool.

I have seen U2 56 times with my wife. We met on the U2 mailing list back in 1997 lol.

Battery operated and no, but looks like I can switch out the clock part very easily. And am planning to hang it up once I get it working!

I just bought over a ton of books at an estate sale. 3 pick-up truck loads.
There are a lot of aircraft and car shop manuals.
I will make thousands of dollars on this deal
Lots of work though.

Visited alocal estate sale today and was looking in the kitchen junk drawer. In it were 3 sterling silver demitasse spoons. The price you ask?

Wait for it....


















$.75 I love a deal

[hobo finds]

Not as great deal as above. But a small sterling spoon marked 925 weighs 17 grams for $2

Looks like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sterling-Silver ... 2175wt_758

[JustINaVW]

Not a great deal but good enough for me.

1971 40% blue ike set and a george washington commemorative 90% half with box for $15

He was a coin dealer in a local mall, just chatted him up and he dropped the price. Thanks to this forum I actually knew what I was talking about.

This is an old story, but still worth posting in this thread. In January, 2009 (when it seemed the world was going to end- at least the financial world) I happened to be in the West Palm Beach, Florida area, near where scamster Bernie Madoff had a lot of former clients. I had seen a pawn shop owner on CNBC talking about all the high end stuff he'd been getting lately. I decided to go into his shop. I happened to see a small container of Kennedy halves. I noticed that clad halves were in the same container with silver halves and thought that was interesting. I asked the pawn shop employee how much the halves were and he said they were $1 each. So there were about 40 silver halves (I think all but a few were 40%ers- maybe three 1964's). But I made three piles of halves and put a clad one on top of each pile. So there was a clad half on the top of each pile and all silver coins underneath. The employee came over to make sure I got the count right and off I went with all these halves for only $1 each. I never did sell them, but could have flipped them right away and made a decent profit. Who says that all pawn shops are ripoffs?!?

That's a fantastic find. Try to get it tested at your local jewelery shop and give us a follow up.

Your in the money easily with the gold.....but the diamond can multiply that number.

I went to an estate sale outside of town a few weekends ago and bought a phonograph. Paid $95 for it and drove back to town and sold it for $375 to a local dealer.
