I had to sell silver silverware last month to make my car payment and this month it looks like the selling silver anything will continue to help me stay afloat. My divorce was finalized two months ago and I was not awarded any alimony to help offset the household expenses we both incurred. My house has been on the market for eight months and it has been shown five times total. I remember when it was easy to sell a house in this neighborhood but that was about four years ago.

I put an ad online to sell silver necklaces and earrings that I have had for many years that my grandmother wore at her wedding. I had them insured for over twenty thousand dollars when I first was given them so they should be worth double that today. If I can at least just get the twenty thousand dollars from them then I can sit comfortably for at least four months by only selling silver items in my jewelry box.

I have done a complete inventory of everything that is valuable in my house and it all now has sticky notes on them that states what I think I can get for it in today’s market. Paintings, furniture, appliances and even lawn equipment are on the list.
