Gold Buyer’s Valles Vary
A Dunedin householder was approached by a gold-buyer and, having some old gold to dispose of, submitted it to the buyer. An offci’ of 32s was made for the assortment, which included a disused dental plate. When the offer was refused the buyer raised his bid to 31s, and remarked that inat was more than any other dealer in town would be prepared to offer. Th'* householder, remarking that he knew nothing of such matters, said he would refer' the articles to a dealer in town, and suggested that the buyer should ring or call again. On taking the articles to a city dealer, tho householder was offered a cheque for £4 2s 9d, which he acepted. The dental plate, for which the buyer ajt. the door had offered a maximum of 17s, brought £2 7s 9d in the city, and the total proceeds of the sale in the town were £2 8s 8d in excess of what the itinerant buyer said was his highest bid.
