(And I guess I have little in common with the Palm beach rich, because I wouldn't have that frog set on my wish list if it was marked down 90%!) ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

Living not too far from Palm Beach, I have joked that I want to park outside the first pawn over the bridge and wait for a good deal on some mega bling, but certainly would not be frogs

I'm not close enough to make it to Palm Beach but I am interested in seeing what might pop up on the mkt. I'm going to keep my eyes on Signed Pieces. Any other thoughts on who might end up reselling these goodies? Gayle

My son was there in December and told me a pair of HW earrings worth a boat load went for 15K at a pawn shop. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

oneandahalfrock Cut Rock Total Posts: 311 Last Post: 10/28/2009 Member Since: 12/31/2008	That's so sad- I'm not sure which saddens me more though; to have to sell your jewelry to meet basic needs or to have interested so much in jewelry that you don't have a decent enough nest egg to meet your needs when times go bad. It's funny; while I don't feel like I've been hurt personally by our changing economy, it has made me more aware of my spending... I think a few of us are this way- I remembering seeing a thread about how everyone was trying to find was to save money. so it goes.
