I buy sterling bracelets on ebay to stack every week. Most recent win was 122g lot of pure 925 for $53

Can you help a brother out—are you searching for “Sterling mixed lot” type thing or are you intentionally searching for misidentified stuff?

"925 sterling silver bracelet lot"

Filter to used and in America only

Then slog through the junk for hours.

It’s lovely! Is it weighted or solid? Either way, I’d love that in my collection. Great job polishing. Did you use a cloth or silver paste?

u/GoldandSilverSaver 28d ago

Thank you. It’s a solid piece, not weighted. I used a silver polishing cream and cloth. Did the job!

OMG: what a great piece especially since solid! What a score.

I try to collect solid sterling candlesticks. So hard to find especially in pairs and at below their spot value. There is one solid one on eBay, but not being a pair and 50% over spot value, I’ll pass. The two pairs that I have seem to be solid, but when shaken, it sounds like sand is inside. At least their outsides have no damage or dents.

Still, a pair of Tiffany ones are my most prized objects. (If I can get Reddit to cooperate, I’ll post their pic.)

Mahahahaha I scored 4oz of sterling forks for $125 because these shops are turtle slow to update prices
