Good experience with Replacements.Inc.
They are down the road from us. When I need to sell off our not needed items of china, glassware, etc. I took 4 large boxes to them.
It is quite an interesting place to see how it all works. My boxes were sorted into areas of china, glassware, crystal, silver, other, etc.
Each item was inspected for chips, cracks, etc.
Each item was logged into their system.
If an item was needed....meaning they did not have it, were low on supply, interesting to them....then they made a "bid" price for that item. It is all according to their inventory and pricing.
All unwanted items were repacked...better than when I brought them in.
I was taked to each table/section and shown what items they were interested in and if I was willing to accpet their offer.
I was quite happy walking out with close to $300 for stuff that was hand-me-downs from various relatives or items I simply did not want anymore.
Once particular area was very ineteresting. Silverware. My grandmother had given me set of silverware at various time....for no apparent reason. It was boxed as a serving set...knife, fork, spoon, salad knive. They priced each item. For instance the knives were worth $2.00 each, forks were around $3.00 each and super surprising the spoons were $10 each. There was a huge demand for spoons in the pattern. So I sold it all, making much more money on the spoons.
They also accepted crystal vase...from Tiffany(a gift from DH's previous employer that was certainly not wanted in our home anymore).
If you contact them with a certain pattern in mind they will e-mail you the rates that they are willing to pay and what items in that pattern are needed.
I have a Plalzgraff pattern. They did not want any of the plates as they were overstocked however they bought the spoon rest, salt-n-pepper, and butter dish w/cover.
I guess it all depends on demand of each item.
Good luck.
