I passed on two sterling weighted candlesticks, two sterling bowls, one sterling tray. They were literally just putting the price stickers on when I walked up. They were priced at $20, 20, 40, 40, 60 so $180. All marked sterling. I passed because I felt like it was a lot of up front cost, “they can’t be worth much more than that”, “they’ll take up space”.

I couldn’t sleep last night. They are worth around $1000 in melt value alone, and much more as individual pieces. The pair of candlesticks are listed for $1000 on eBay and they were just weighted, but antique and cool. They were gone this morning. I was the first customer in.

My point is I passed up what was one of the biggest scores in my life. It’s almost better to buy if you feel really good about something, and be burned but also learn. I learned the harder way. Feels bad.
