What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

In The Visalia Times Delta, The "Buying Roadshow" advertised that they're buying "ALL KINDS & ALL TYPES OF STERLING & SILVER". In the paper it reads, "WE BUY ALL FORMS OF STERLING SILVER BY ALL MANUFACTURES AND MAKERS WITH EMPHASIS ON FINER, MORE ORNATE PIECES".
We took in some sterling silver plated items and were told they don't buy silver plate. Is this false advertisement?

They buy silver. Silver plate is not silver.

silver plate is usually copper covered with silver. That would make it a "type" or "form" of silver, regardless. And who said anything about seeing it on Law and Order? Thanx for your opinion, But keep your sarcasm to yourself.

Now that you've taken offense to a signature line :rolleyes:, Indiana Filer is correct. The silverplate on your pieces isn't thick enough to be worth diddly. We're talking MICRONS here. :cool:

If you feel that you can sue them for false advertising, consult an attorney. I suspect that it will be a waste of your time and money, but both are yours to spend if you have it.

There it is there! IT IS A TYPE/FORM OF SILVER. I could care less about it's value, that wasn't my point. And what's behind every ones rudeness? You all act like I'm asking why they wouldn't buy aluminum because it looks silver. Damn.

NEXT!!!

It doesn't matter what you think it's worth; you're not the one buying it. The very first answer you received was correct. And besides, even if you had the most lovely silver ever seen in the history of the world, nobody at that event would be obligated to buy it from you.

And the expression is "couldn't" care less not "could" care less by the way.

Straightforward answers have a way of coming across as rude. This is a perfect example.
