Anyone know where I can start?

SJSWING · 11-01-2009, 09:57 PM

I have recently required a pretty nice set of China. I have checked Replacements.com for the value and to say the least it has me shocked. I am wondering if there are companies out there like replacements.com who will purchase the china from me. I have it posted on Ebay, but really don't think I will get a bidder.
If there are not any other sites to sell to, can anyone be of help as to where I might be able to go for selling it.(forums, auction...etc.).

Check the local antique shops and put it up for a consignment sale.

If you required China wouldn't you be looking at buying some, and not selling some.

I think you should give it away to a less advantaged family that needs good china, but has none.

Its the new American way.

Though I've no experience in selling china, beware of the Antiques Roadshow-style excitement of finding how much your china (or other antique) is "worth". It is only worth as much as somebody is willing to pay for it, and the market for old china might be rather soft (especially in this economy). So don't start counting your cash just yet.

I completely agree with you.....It is hard enough for some people to sell items in their shops, yet alone I am going to try and sell some expensive china.
