<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gabatgh, post: 231965, member: 4148&quot;]Hi! I&#039;m in need of advice. My father-in-law was an antique dealer and he passed away. For many years be bought sterling items cheaply. Preferably very cheaply, and he was very good at it. He had amassed quite a collection of items and had intended on opening up in an antique mall to sell in but passed away unexpectedly.</p><p><br /></p><p>He taught me a lot about a lot of things but he never got to the silver. &quot;save it to later&quot; was his mantra. We&#039;ve got things from partial tea sets to carousels to lipstick holders, to cigarette cases, and the list goes on. Some of the stuff we cannot even identify. </p><p><br /></p><p>We don&#039;t know what to do with it all. The damaged stuff, like squished tea cups, we&#039;re guessing gets simply sold as scrap. What we don&#039;t know what to do is properly price the other items. Much of what we have we&#039;ve never found similar items online. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does the weight of an item factor in to its value? Is it totally aesthetic?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
