So, I had a gap between appointments yesterday afternoon. I had been hearing about TC Precious Metals being in Moose Jaw on CHAB. So, I found a couple of old neck chains on my way out the door and took them down to the library for an appraisal.
The old, herringbone gold chain was all twisted up - no good to wear anymore. I also had an old silver chain - no idea where it came from.
I was hoping to get $20 or $30 for the gold and silver but, to my surprise, a seemingly trustworthy man named Terry offered me $80. I could hardly contain my excitement.
"Show me the money!", I said. He did. One-two-three-four $20 bills. Thank you very much.
So, the next stop, was the barber shop. She asked me how my day was going so I told her the story I just told you.
She says, "$80 for two chains?"
I said, "Ya, I'm so happy."
And she says, "Well, your timing is perfect. My rates just went up - a haircut is $75 plus tip."
She got me.
