Gold (plated) mine

[jcollie719]

One funding source for my upcoming vacation wound up failing me (or, rather, the failure was mine.) I had recently bought a necklace on an auction site for $55, about 10% of the retail price. I was hoping to take it to a pawn shop to get at least a few hundred. I've never used pawn shops, so I didn't know they generally don't accept gold-plated jewelry. I listed the necklace on eBay instead.
