    How much do you think you made with this jar. I think you paid way too much. Goodwill isnt going to put anything of great value in these jars. They know whats good and what isnt.

      Thanks for watching- the video- I’ve lost count of my profit margin,however remember value is subjective and is determined by niche markets. I urge you to browse eBay SOLD listings to see what I mean.

      I have to say I've been spending a lot of time down in Ann arbor at the U of M university hospital. In their main hallway back towards the elevator/ escalators there is a display of art shadow boxes filled with lovely collages (im dyslexic so excuse the spelling errors)
      Of costume jewelry from all ages/eras. I have a cookie tin filled with odds and ends of costume jewelry from passed away family that I've been thinking of maybe designing and making one of my own.
      Some are abstract and some are themed and some are deconstructed amd turned into animals/butterflies you name it.
      I've always been partial to koi and water lilies or lotus.
      Against deep blue felt, it might turn out cute.
      There is always a way to turn a profit from things if you don't mind putting in a bit of effort.
      I bought few rolls of coins from an older lady who needed paper money (the store was giving her grief about counting change)
      The roll of quarters had 2 silver quarters in it and the roll of dimes had several silver dimes.
      But the 4 rolls of pennies were full of wheat pennies and even 3 Indian head pennies.
      You never know when you might find treasures. I kind of expect to find washers and slugs in the quarter roll lol.

    i did this regularly at my local goodwills. about 7-10 years ago… literally every week i would buy 3-6. for an average of $25-40 and almost every time you got decent real gold rings, coins, and maid a few hundred on each. it slowly slowed down over the years people caught on. jar prices went up, and they started taking a closer look at what went into them. nowadays it’s a tru gamble but this used to by extremely profitable

It is so much fun to look through it all. In your video, You asked about a stretchy thing. It is a decorative way to push your sweeter up and away from your hand to a 3/4 fit.

    You mentioned you wished the sterling silver ring on your finger would look silver again. I wear SS on almost all my fingers. Lol If you get hot water, about 1\4C, line a small dish, cup, bowl, whatever you have, with aluminum foil, shiny shiny side up, add 1-2Tblsp vinegar, tsp baking soda, stir... Set your ring in it. You will literally see it shine up. For small grooves can use soft tooth brush. Rinse and towel dry. :) This works on all my jewelry, even gold. But if you have stones, look up the type of stone you have before using this method. There are a handful that can't be introduced to vinegar.

I couldn’t imagine spending $150.00 and not getting more precious metals… I’m glad that you are excited though… I would have been really upset, LOL, especially since things aren’t selling as well right now. I would definitely stick with the pawn shops, as I have control over what I want. ❤

    I bought a box 163 pieces of antique and vintage jewelry from the son of a woman who had quite the collection. She had died 20 years prior to me buying it and he had stored her things before organizing and selling. I paid $300 and ended up selling pieces for over $3000 profit. I still have some of the pieces I couldn't bear to part with!
    Other pieces I wish I had kept but I needed the money and having an allergy to nickel, I cannot wear most of it. A good rule of thumb for parting with awesome pieces is to remind yourself that you're not married to them.

    It's old might even be 18 carrot gold that necklace you're talking about with all the numbers cause. I had a necklace like that too and it was 18 Carrot gold. It was from Italy. And they used to put serial numbers instead of 18 14. A jeweler told me that I was shocked mine was 18 carrots gold.

    Brava to you for thrifting! I used to shop at Goodwill, too, until a couple of years ago when I discovered the Big Cheeses at GW make somewhere between $500 thousand and 1 million dollars per year (depending on what internet search you do). I also found out that employees with disabilities are often paid less than minimum wage (as low as 22 cents per hour), whistleblowers have been fired, and safety issues have led to tragedy. Now my fave thrift store is The Humane Society Thrift Store, the fave of all our town which voted it the Best Thrift Store - even against GW! We also have thrift stores for hospice, Teen Challenge, and other local charities. I try to be even more ETHICAL about where my little money goes.

    The Goodwill‘s in my area had been getting too much gold and sterling jewelry so they decided to start selling it on the goodwill website. It was an absolute blow to everyone who loved the treasure hunting. I am honestly disgusted that Goodwill would do that. Now the people that buy on Goodwill Usually buy to resell.

    Iolite is purplish, not green. Did you perhaps mean Indicolite? Which is the blue/green tourmaline that is expensive. Argentium silver is very popular with craft jewelers as it can be welded without flux - it just melts and flows into place, no scale, no pickling required.
