I bought a gold mantel clock for 2$. The sellers were selling their Grandmother things. They told me the clock wasn't working and I don't know much about clocks but it was pretty. I took it to a clock repair shop, got it repaired and now it is worth $1500.00 It is an Atmos clock made in 1953, it cost me $150.00 to get it repaired.

I found a white gold band with what looked like diamonds but it was so encrusted with dirt it was hard to tell.It was in a box with another gold ring with one smaller diamond. When I ask how much for the two rings she said $25.00. I didn't know if the diamonds were real or not but I felt the gold which was marked 14k was worth the $25.00 and it was just the type of ring I had always wanted but could never afford . After I took them home and cleaned them with a toothbrush I felt pretty sure they were real diamonds, so I took them to a jewelry store to have them looked at. Well, much to my surprise the jeweler told me that the band with five diamonds was worth $2,500.I have worn that ring everyday since I found it.The other ring I sold for $50.00. So keep your eyes open, you just never know what you might find.
