Okie dokie JFC, if I get down to one and am "desperate" I know who to call on. LOL.
They're the best thing ever, not just INTRIGUING. LOL. I haven't told the husband yet but I better get on it like, yesterday. It will take some explaining, but if I just say "silverware" he will get it. Sometimes I make (largish or smallish) for me purchases that work out very nicely. LOL. Like this antique silverware I bought for $10 because it was so weird... So weird it would pay for a kidney transplant, so I am saving it for catastrophe. So strange I actually had to ship it across the country to get an appraisal. I just knew it was somehow worth way more than $10.
I didn't impulse buy this time though, I sat down with my calculator and researched buying history and etc. I really DON'T want to work for someone else, but I'm okay with working for maSELF, just not as a therapist as the billing involved is beyond tedious, and I'm kind of maxed out on the whole compassion and empathy thing. I like the idea of becoming cutthroat for profit for a little while, and I totally have GREAT luck with old and odd items.
But, decided if I was going to try it, rather have a massive fail that I could vape on forever, than say bidding on an oriental rug.... Not that I wouldn't. I know a lot about old stuff through working in a violin shop in HS, there are certain tell tale signs that come with antiquity and certain things to look out for as counterfeit and etc.
I think I need a new mood, like "chipper" or something. Ha.
