[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 4312026, member: 88"]The auction house where I work sells sets of sterling flatware on a fairly regular basis. Depending on the maker, the pattern, if it is monogrammed, if it contains serving pieces, how many place settings it contains & of course condition the bidding can get quite spirited. Most sell to dealers but the price is often driven by someone who wants to add to their set or just wants a set of sterling flatware & likes the pattern. The dealers for the most part resell on eBay or at shows depending on the above criteria. If you do not want to keep it I would in addition to checking the scrap price check with at least 1 or 2 local auction houses to see if you can get an idea as to what it might bring at their auction.
