I have a 88 piece set of Haviland Gentaine and a 75 piece set of Rosenthal Classic Rose. Both in new condition. What whould be the best way to sell them? I dont want to sell them piece by piece as it would take a LOT of boxes. Any help? Do people buy large sets of China? I know about Replacements.Com, but they pay nothing for the stuff and charge a arm and leg.
Anyone had any luck selling this stuff? |

| I don't know the market for china specifically but if it were me and if I were in a hurry, I'd ask some home consignment stores if they would take it. If I weren't in a hurry I might try craigslist first. KarinL |

| Try your local antique stores. Many do consignment selling, or someone renting a space may offer to buy them from you. ;o) |

| People will buy large sets, but they won't pay very much for them unless they are rare. Take a look at Replacements.com and see what they are listing the sets for. You will be lucky to get 30% - 50% of that price on eBay, a large spread because so much depends on the appeal of the pattern. If I were selling a set on eBay, I think I would list with a price that is 50% of Replacements' price and then add an "Or Best Offer" option. |

| Thanks, The biggis problem with selling on E-bay is the shipping cost. It cost a lot to ship a 88piece of Haviland China. |

| Why would anyone buy a set from Replacements.com when you can buy it much cheaper through Ebay. |

I sold quite a large set of Royal Albert Senorita China on ebay a long time ago. I talked Purolator Courier into shipping it for me - it was much cheaper and guaranteed to arrive in one piece.
Regarding your China, from what I can see, the Gentaine is very pricey stuff, and may well sell for a great price either on ebay or at a consignment antique store. The Rosenthal is much less valuable, I personally would just sell it off on ebay or at a garage sale or similar.

| It might be pricy but i dont think there is much demand for it. No one seems to want big sets of china. I listed the Haviland for $200 and got no bids on ebay. this was for 88pieces. |

| John feel free to email me your listings. I do buy large sets of china :) especially good ones. (I'm not a dealer, just an interested consumer if you still have the stuff). |

| I'm in SE Indiana and I drive through Jon's area fairly regularly (I still have family there), I'd be happy to be a schlepper for someone if it'd help. Jon you might try emailing the host of that new show Cash & Cari, she is HQ'd in Detroit & specializes in estate items. I think her store's name is RePurpose but I might be wrong. Jon you got anything for me? I don't need any more china, lol. |

kterlep.....what route do you take?...I am wondering wehre you could schlep to....that I could easily get to and from there do my own schlepping.
My mother had that china....and I wasn't "lucky"...but what I traded for was part of my mother's Mason's pink vista.
But wouldn't it be fun to give it to my grand daughter? not as her "good china" but as something to use. |

all like new condition Btw, I have contacted Repurpose. I e-mailed about 12 photos of stuff for them. I have yet to hear from them. I called and they told me it would take several weeks as they are very busy. |
Buying/Selling Here?

| I thought this wasn't a sell/buy site; however, I have two large china sets to sell as well as three china tea sets to sell! Anybody meandering on over to Southwestern Idaho anytime soon? |

RE: Selling large sets of China??

| So much for not being a buy/sell site!! I want to weigh in with the rest of the china **ores. Noritake Polonaise, Mikasa Spring Crest, and Mikasa Charisma black are patterns I may be interested in. Yeah, I know it's on ebay.... And why not a buy/sell forum? We are all buying stuff, some of it to sell and make a living, some just collecting, but what fun! Barbara |
