I tried to sell some silver jewelry that was rejected by the "dealer". They did not stick to my magnet and were tarnished, so I thought they would be eligible. What is wrong with this theory?

True sterling silver jewelry will be marked either "Sterling" or "925".
It is probably on silver plated.
This is a page about determining silver plate vs. sterling silver. There are marks on the bottom of silver pieces that with the help of the internet, can tell you whether it is sterling or not.
