Discussing Antique Wholesale Jewelry

Antique jewelry is typically very valuable, and purchasing such items costs quite a bit of money

. But then again, it is possible to buy these wholesale as well - if you know where to look.

Most people think that online auctions, such as eBay is the way to go. While this is true occasionally, you will usually find that the seller knows the value of what they are selling, and the price is quite high. There are other ways to find these particular goods at wholesale prices - or below.

Keep an eye on your newspaper for advertised estate sales and garage sales. Typically, at these sales, the people holding the sale really don't know the value of what they have. You can literally purchase hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of old jewelry for just a few dollars on a typical Saturday morning.

It is important that you not look too closely at the items when you are buying it. If the piece is valuable, you don't want the seller to know how valuable it is! It isn't your fault that they didn't get it appraised - as you will as soon as you leave! Keep a straight face, keep your happiness and joy to yourself, and pay the fifty cents or two bucks that they want for the piece, get in your car and head to a trusted jeweler for an appraisal!

It is possible that the piece isn't worth anything - but occasionally, you will stumble across some real finds! Even if the piece isn't worth anything, if you make these things you may be able to disassemble it for the parts.

Finding old adornments can be very exciting - in fact, spending those Saturday mornings at the yard sales and estate sales may even become addicting! Yard sales and estate sales - especially estate sales where grandchildren are not interested in their grandma's old ugly decoration adornment are the best sources for old precious metals at wholesale prices - or below wholesale prices.

This doesn't mean that there aren't some real find on eBay as well, so don't discount it. Keep an eye on the categories, as well as the antique or vintage categories. When you do find something you want to bid on, make sure that the seller has a good reputation. If the piece is very expensive, use the escrow service that is recommended by eBay. Also talk to the seller quite a bit to be sure that you understand exactly what is being advertised!
