Buy cheap and sell dear?<br /><br />There are many programs on our UK TV showing the public how to recognise and buy throwaway junk in garage and car boot sales and re-sell it at antiques' auctions.<br /><br />Only this week, on TV, a lady bought an old metal box in a market sale for a few pennies and when she got it home it contained mainly junk and a 24ct gold necklace worth a small fortune.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608676180400521343.post-24632431482653001022011-10-13T15:54:15.287-04:002011-10-13T15:54:15.287-04:00Victor, good question.

That we are under no obligation to say anything. I don't know if I agree with that.EC Gefrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821950576683551325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608676180400521343.post-65322881304665770522011-10-13T09:41:39.164-04:002011-10-13T09:41:39.164-04:00Interesting question Victor!

I don't think I could walk away paying $1 knowing it's true value.<br /><br />Antique dealers would keep it to themselves,w ould be my guess.noreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512311149461187879noreply@blogger.com
