After work one day I went into the local thrift store and there was a table in the center of the store filled with loose jewelry. Only $1 each. I was digging through the pieces when I saw the crab. I turned it over and there was half of a name on the back. I didn't know the name, but since it was signed, I bought it.
Then when I brought it home and looked it up I learned who the designer was. Wow. What a great find. I had it listed in my shop for a while for $185. And when finally a lady offered me $150 for it, I took it. Although even my $185 was lower than other Joseff crab and other brooches on ebay. I am happy with my profit. Not sure I will get that lucky again. Or very often. Maybe once a year. lol.
