Quick Background-

My mother-in-law inherited a large quantity of really nice stuff that she doesn’t really have a use for. Items include

- various Waterford Crystal items (glasses, vases, serving dishes, etc etc.
- Silverware (flatware)
- Silver Platters, serving pieces
- Assorted China - can’t remember the brand

I know some of this stuff is collectible.

Besides eBay or an estate sale has anyone ever used another resource to buy or sell this type of stuff?


ETA: I already called Rick and the Old Man...they didn’t know shite, but I’m pretty sure he’s got a buddy who does...

Give it to me, I’ll sell it for you and you’ll get a small percentage.

You’d be lucky if Goodwill accepts that junk

Take some pics, and send me a ballpark price for the lot. Keep in mind, it's only worth what a buyer is willing to pay. It's a small market.

Have the stuff appraised and the appraiser will sell them at auction.

Here's one site that buys China and silver. There are others. People are always looking to replace stuff that gets lost or broken. LINK
