Scrapping Sterling Weighted Candle Holders For Emergency Funding! How Much Did I Get?
Рет қаралды 335
I lucked out finding a couple sterling weighted candle holders for real cheap on an online estate sale. To sell the silver, you have to break the candle holders apart and take out the weighted pitch. On the same subject, you can also find weighted bowls, compotes (candy dishes), creamers and sugar bowls and knives that are made the same way. In essence, this is basically silver plate, thicker by a factor of 10, now that I think about it...

Those candlesticks are a beauty. You say they are rare and yet so sad to see you destroy them.😮

Yeah, they are rare and getting rarer, but they're still out there, and anyone can still afford to pick up a pair! And I know! I wish I could save everything, but I can't! It takes a lot to pay storage and packaging supplies to run my store, not to mention gas and food to make it to the next week... And I'm trying to sell a sterling weighted bud vase, art nouveau 800 salt cellars, a beautiful pepper mill, and now some Tiffany pieces for higher than sterling melt so whoever will buy them can't melt it for a profit themselves, and they've been sitting in my store for years and months! Heck, what will end up happening is the spot price will catch up to my asking price and sometime will pick them up n off to the smelter. On the other hand though, the market has never been better for someone with a shrewd eye to pick up some incredible silver on the cheap. I found all this for 15 dollars, and I share my finds for everyone to see so they can do the same!
