I always ask when I am seeking something if the person selling "like jewelry" and if it is a guy, I say "do you have a wife, girlfriend or daughter" and they usually ask "why" and then I explain. It works about 25% of the time. Becareful though, a lot of times, the other person wants to full retail value of the item they are giving you and then asks for a discount on your prices. This erks me, but I usually just give them a discount. If anyone has any ways to resolve that, I would love to hear them!

I really came out ahead when I traded a silver bracelet for a friends granddaughters charms for a large box of estate jewelry. What a treasure hunt that became.
