I also wouldn't be to quick to pass up on some of the Shannon and Mikasa pieces - the Mikasa Park Lane looks like Baccarat and a set of 8 flutes or goblets still brings $100-150... and the same for the Shannon - they made a lot of OVERSIZED pieces - especially champagne buckets and ice buckets - they are huge - it is a LOT of bang for the buck... also - anything Fenton for $5 or less grab - I don't care what it is - a piece of Fenton marked $12 and take $10 on the local level is going to sell...[/QUOTE]
