To Sell Old Jewelry or Not
My mom and I had always been together all our lives. She was a very competent single mother. She knew when not to give up and when to take a rest when we experience problems in our lives. She was very strong that I always get power from her. The only thing she fails on is on financial matters. She could not keep up with financial responsibilities even if she has to work day in and day out. She just could not get the right formula to be good with money. It’s not always enough. I have always told her to sell old jewelry from her closet. But she keeps insisting that her mother, my grandmother, just gave it to her since she could not give her anything before she died. She was pretty sure that it does not cost any amount. It’s fancy, she always say.
One day, not giving it much thought, I tried sending one of the old jewelry to an online company. My mother did not know that I was actually selling jewelry online to try our luck. And to utter amazement, the company sent a check instead of returning the old jewelry. It was after all real. I talked to my mom about my experience. She was more than surprised. She contacted the company and asked them if we could send more for proper appraisal. The company was more than willing to appraise and they have truly appraised it well. My mother was able to overcome with her financial problems. It was indeed a good revelation.
