I like the thought behind this last message! I guess that's because I've always hoped I would be able to sell (& profit, yes) my collection of antique tribal jewelry/silver & beads before I left this earth. But the positivity behind your message is so inspiring, since what I have always loved about my pieces is the fact that they did mean so much to their past owners! Knowing that my beads or my amulet was in someone's hands, many years ago, bringing them power, blessings, safety & even just happiness is the best part of this love of mine. So, I now too feel okay with the fact that if my pieces are not sold to a "real" collector for a profitable amount, that they will end up in someone else's hands who really just loved them, if even for just a few coins! Thank you for that inspiration!! Lynne
