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.
