<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 9932261, member: 37&quot;]I have had some luck selling stemware locally at deep discounts off the going rate for sold items on ebay.&nbsp; I currently have a set of 6 Navarre ice tea glasses priced at $30.00 and 8 champagne glasses at $40.00.&nbsp;&nbsp; Condition is perfect.&nbsp; They have yet to sell but think they will eventually.&nbsp; Customers these days prefer simpler more modern patterns and I often price these even cheaper.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am buying stemware at 25 cents or less per stem at the thrift stores.&nbsp; I have a total of $3.50 in the 14 pieces of Navarre I detailed above.&nbsp; The shop I am in gives me a good consignment rate (20%). This, combined, enables me to sell cheaply. Even then, it is hit and miss.&nbsp; For example; wine glasses sell better than, champagne glasses, which sell better than cordials.&nbsp; I often pass by the latter for this reason.&nbsp; I probably would do better selling on ebay but I do not want the ordeal of shipping fragile items.</p><p><br /></p><p>If selling locally, I think you need to think pennies on the dollar for your set.&nbsp; Someone needs to recognize that you are offering an incredible bargain.&nbsp; That someone will likely be a dealer. Otherwise, ebay is probably your best bet.&nbsp; Your chances of selling there increase greatly if you can price significantly below what others are asking and keep your shipping costs low or, better yet, free.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
