Time to get away from sites like that.. FAR away..


Not so fast Dearborn. That site supports Goodwill which is a good organization. Also, you can find some good deals there on other merchandise. Like the Silvertone electric guitar which cost me $23 + S/H. Or the Minolta MN35Z 20M pixel camera I got for $26. Both items work just fine. I've gotten other deals, too. So don't be so quick to throw the baby out with the bath water, please.



I know CoinFrog wants me to move on but I had to post one final message.


The final auction price? Wait for it. scroll down...








$282!

Oh, I know Goodwill very well, in fact my company in a main vendor for their stores for Horizontal cabling of their networks (Phone/Data)..
I see the stuff that gets brought in, I've seen their main distribution warehouse and I know how they 'handle' items (not gentle at all)
So I will not buy site unseen from their web site.
I shop instore Goodwill sites, and I get good deals, but I'll only buy from them if I can put my hands on it to get a good look.

So I stand by my statement. I have seen their internal operations than not many others have the 'opportunity' to see.

When a new store opens up, it is my company that is one of 2 in my location that is part of the construction team.

No, it is one of those special markers that retailers use to authenticate money (normally bills/notes)

In this case it failed because there was " no mint Marker" on it.

1. Provided that I have independently proven information on ASW.
2. Provided that I can buy at below spot.

Needless to say, my silver stash grows very slowly. Nevertheless, I have accumulated about 700 grams over about 30 years.
