Thrifters NEED To Know This! 🤩

One of the most overlooked sections at the thrift store with a ton of profit hiding is the flatware. Now we're gonna find sterling silver, but silver plated flatware can also be worth a good chunk, some particular knives. So let me show you. So let's start at the knives and work our way down to forks and spoons. If you ever see a knife handle sitting in one of those boxes that looks like this, these ergonomic, almost plastic or Bakelite feeling handles with a full tang running all the way through the handle, make sure you grab it. These right here are Cutco knives, and they are extremely underpriced at the thrift store. This one was only $2 and it sells for around 60. This is what's known as a full tang, when you're looking for the quality of a knife, that the actual blade runs all the way through the handle. Make sure to look it up. Make sure you type in Cutco and the model number that? 1729 KH, 29KH. That's what you wanna plug into eBay to find the price. Now you should also be looking for these butter knives because they won't have a full tang, but they will have that same handle style in pearl or sometimes a dark black. Moving down the rack from knives and into spoons and forks. This right here is a 25 set that we paid a quarter a piece for. This is vintage Pottery Barn Fiddlehead flatware. We sold this set of 25 for 275 bucks and we only spent seven after tax. The end of the handle is what you're looking for. If there's some weird or obscure or artistic design, make sure you look for the maker's mark and price check it. But of course, sterling silver and even silver flatware is what we're really looking for. So for a couple bucks on Amazon, you can grab one of these earth magnets. Now sterling silver flatware is not going to be magnetic. We look for is this black hue. This is silver plated. Now, it's going to turn this black color as it ages, but plated silver is going to have this somewhat gold glossy tone because the base metal is starting to come through. So silver plate, they take a base metal like copper or zinc and electro plate that silver over it. We're always looking for sterling silver, but 99% of resellers leave that silver plate behind. You to grab because you can go to a place called silverplatebuyers.com and they will give you $11. And you're only paying 25 to 50 cents per piece. That adds up to some profit. Seriously? Quick
