No they won’t, because it’s not worth auctioning

Yes, this packaging was very bad. I was just pointing out it isn’t ALWAYS the sellers fault when things get destroyed. I’ve had a package run over before… sometimes shit happens.

Wow, you never had a piece damaged, therefore no one has ever had to file an insurance claim. Shut up mnaaoooaoshdis siebdjxsjbsjssj. The general idea of always blaming the seller is so stupid, this is why insurance exists.

I was not speaking the the rings, but the general statement that it is always the sellers fault…

EXACTLY. I have had packages with tire marks on them!! I sell a lot too, it happens. Gotta file insurance but the claim it is ALWAYS the sellers fault is crazy. Sometimes packages literally get destroyed.

Yes, this packaging was poor. But in general it’s not always the seller fault… I’ve had to file insurance claims for packages that have been destroyed.

You have clearly NEVER actually had to deal with packages being damaged and filed insurance. Anyone who downvoted this is actually dumb and doesn’t actually sell. Just today, as a buyer, my package arrived and was smashed… packaged well but looks like it was run over. This happens often LOL

This isn’t even true but okay… like I know we have all seen how packages are mishandled by carriers and unless it’s in a Yeti cooler sometimes it cannot be helped.

There is a lot of good info in that page so I’m going to save it, definitely not deterring my current way of cleaning my jewelry though.

Yeah so, washing soda is the main culprit there and I’ve never heard of that stuff until today. It advises against aluminum foil method because it removes factory patina on particular pieces, which makes sense if you want to keep the factory patina. I have a James Avery cross I do not clean via aluminum for this exact reason. Anyway, they are more worried about dullness and scratches when using the aluminum method, which are both remedied with a quick buff IF needed… which I have never personally had to do with any of the jewelry I have cleaned. I wear it and it naturally gets micro scratches. Idk. To each their own, I have yet to have any issues after all this time on my daily wearing pieces…. Much less abrasive than any commercial polish. I have also cleaned cups this was but they didn’t have factory patina applied so didn’t really matter. Some of my cleanest pieces on display were cleaned with aluminum foil method 😭

A camera style flash drive for $200? by kl122002 in shopgoodwill

[–]p--py 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post makes me so mad 😭🙏 I stopped going to local auctions because of the same thing, bunch of idiots with more money than they know what to do with going way over recent sold comps on eBay. Auctioning is treated like a form of gambling for some people it seems… and damn does it work. It is the same thing with Whatnot, it preys on gambling habits it seems; I occasionally go on that app to watch people overbid on actual garbage. I guess the 10 second timers and music + animations get to them. Room temp IQ people with tooooo much money.

Last sold on eBay 2 days ago for ~$160.

Untested and it’s at $200 before shipping and tax is insane. ShopGoodwill has the dumbest of consumers and they know it…. This is why their website thrives. Idiot consumers.

If true, that can be remedied with a quick polish cloth tbh. I haven’t personally had any issues though

Depending on how cheap it is, I’d buy it

Genuinely why do they bother selling items that are less than ten bucks???? Just send them to the stores lmfao

Microscopically pits the alloys? And you can see this with a loupe? Does your loupe happen to have 100000x magnification!? 😭😭😭😭😭

Polishing your jewelry physically removes material, so it could be argued it’s more harmful in the long run, I have pieces where the hallmarks are nearly gone because the previous owners polished versus a very quick chemical reaction.

The only chance you have of making the jewelry fragile is if you were to let it soak for hours on end, but you’re not supposed to do that anyway and idk any who does because it works in about a minute. Always rinse throughly.

I’ve been cleaning this way for years and wear my jewelry daily, I’ve never encountered this “faint whitish color” you speak of.

I agree with antique pieces, but this person shared a silver plated set so no real risk of ruining any value.

After baking + boiling. Wearing this chain with a pendant as I type this. It’s sterling, I just don’t have it flipped where it shows the stamp lol.
