<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 9932340, member: 649&quot;]I learned some hard lessons about crystal/glassware along the road.</p><p>For example, just because I saw a single stem sell on eBay for $80 (pulling a number out of a hat), didn&#039;t mean I could price my set of ten for $800 and expect a sale. That one stem sold because someone had seven and wanted to complete their set of eight (or whatever number of place settings) and was willing to pay the price. A buyer just starting out and looking for a complete set of used crystal/glassware is not looking to pay top price... and neither are most &quot;collectors&quot;.</p><p>So, you will get significantly more money piecing out your parents collection but it will be a lot more work and take much longer to sell.</p><p>And, as others have already said, interest in fine dining ware has tanked. The younger generations don&#039;t hold many dinner parties, and if/when they do, they want everything to go in the dishwasher.</p><p>Unfortunately, there is no magic place to go to sell all our great stuff... if there were, we&#039;d all be there and we&#039;d all be rich![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
