    I bought these a couple months ago, and they were sold as sterling,
    and were weighed and priced along with the other sterling I bought. 
    But, yes, the vendor has been nice about the whole thing and I plan
    to return the plated pieces to him.  I'm still wondering what
    strength magnet I should bring with me the next time I go silver
    shopping at a show?  Does it matter? 

Thanks,
Donna
