I've shared in this little blog that I am clearing clutter in my home by selling items on eBay and packing them in boxes and shipping them to new homes. I love it. I love the thrill of the auction. I love seeing my price go from RED to GREEN. I just, downright, enjoy it. But, I have to admit, it is a bit like a glorified garage sale for me. I rarely get more money than I paid for the item I sell. Well, once I had a stack of 12 Martha Stewart Living magazines go for $160. I was BESIDE myself. I had found a TREASURE in my closet. Who knew? However, this is FAR from the norm. But, I still LOVE it.
My husband has decided to join in my fun. And now to explain the title of this blog. Silver is at an ALL TIME HIGH. Currently silver is selling for $45 an ounce. This is a very high price. The last time silver was selling at this level was in 1980 when the Hunt brothers cornered the silver market. There was a day known as Silver Thursday when the Hunt brothers were issued a margin call. If you don't remember or know the story, enjoy. Who says you can't learn anything on the internet and reading blogs is a waste of brain power. Consider this a history lesson as well as an economics lesson. Wow, I've certainly digressed. My husband is a numismatist. He really enjoys his hobby. I have to say this was one of the sexy things I saw in him. I mean, a guy who collects MONEY. What is NOT SEXY about this???
Dear husband is selling some of his collection on my eBay account. And IT IS EXCITING. I'm hoping he will sell his coins for the price he hopes for. I started all his auctions at $.99. This makes me nervous, but whatchagonnado? Feel free to take a look at his items. It's going to be fun to watch his items sell. *I hope* I'm so happy he trusts me enough to put these items in my care. He usually uses a professional coin trading company, but this time he's using ME.
If any of you have some dusty coin collections in your closets and have a need to make some extra cash, now is the time to consider selling. Remember, we are talking Silver. Check out the market, don't just take my word for it. And, there is always a chance the price of silver will go even HIGHER.
This is not my typical prose for Emily's link, but I'm sharing an interest I have and something that is making my life a little more exciting than usual. I hope you enjoyed it.
