Here's the eBay link:
Maybe I did it wrong.
That link worked.
Are you only selling one of them then?
I thought you had 4.
That isn't mine. That's just a sample
It's just typical of what those pieces look like.
Like I said, look hard enough at garage sales ya could probably get yourself some for a couple of dollars each.
But the silver content is like...$40 maybe in a spoon? Cuz there must be an ounce if it says 92.5% silver.
Or close to that.
Our garage sales here in Oz have been hit by second hand resellers for decades. They show up early in any built up areas for any online/paper advertised garage sale and try to bully their way in and survey the goods beforehand.
As a consequence, only really really really rural garage sales ever have anything of worth, but most of those have already checked out prices on Ebay or had their great grandchildren check the prices out for them.
They would have already sold off the silverware and hardwood furniture.
I haven't had a garage sale in over 20 years just because I don't need the stress of young Italians and Greeks bringing their own ladders to peer over my fence at 6-7am and demand to buy something for substantially nothing at all.
I'd tell them at first to come back at a certain time but they always tried to push it and demean me or whatever we had for sale. So I started telling them I had a shotgun for sale and to go fuck there mothers again... that they shouldn't neglect their mothers for more than a week at a time.
I still stop at remote garage sales though. I can tell within 10 seconds of walking in by the array and the first few prices (or lack of stickers) whether the place got raided or those elderly people have eBay'd and are dreaming.
I am however polite if I see something I've been looking for but the price is double or triple marked up.... like a very old stainless steel large pot and lid without any bits of rubber or plastic handles listed for 15 dollars... I'll ask very politely "would you consider taking 5 dollars for this?"
After these people have been fleeced and left with scraps they fully expected to prior not have to throw away....I don't mind paying 1-2 dollars more than I normally would for an item that was on my mental list.
Garage/yard sales were something my mum brought us with and had regularly. She was never out for profit when she had them ourselves.... merely to get rid of things to people who most likely really needed them.
And when she bought a painted up 150-200 year old piece of furniture, she would give a fair price, and explain if the counteroffer wasn't suitable by time and effort.
