[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 201518, member: 50"]Lucille I initially looked at the listing and thought it very reasonable. I was surprised nobody had snapped it up. I guess you decided to wait for a higher price now? It hasn't been all that long since I started allowing myself to buy silver. I love mismatched pieces. I do have a matched set of a pattern I really like but I have lots of beautiful pieces that I love all mixed up together. I'd prefer no mono but have lots that do have them. My thoughts about melting, I will use and pass down any silver my kids might want provided I don't need the money. If I do then it will be sold or melted based on the time and ability I have to deal with it. I hate to think of beautiful silver being melted but I can't really fault anyone if that's what they need to do to get by. Who knows, maybe it will come back in its second life as something even more lovely or useful:)[/QUOTE]
