<p>[QUOTE=&quot;madstacks, post: 213072, member: 4060&quot;]I hope this post is appropriate for the forums as it is about modern silver and specifically for the purpose of resale, I cant see anything against this in the rules So I hope this is ok.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have recently acquired these 4 large items of silver, these are from Carrs of sheffield, the pattern is &quot;Grecian&quot; and they are still made and sold today.</p><p><br /></p><p>These were acquired for 20% under their silver content so it may make sense or it might not be economical (I have no idea what I would expect to pay to have them all re polished with marks removed),&nbsp; to buy new they all have a ridiculous price. I want to maximise my resale potential and I am trying to decide if to sell &quot;as is&quot; or to pay to have them refinished. I will be selling at one of the UKs large antique fairs..</p><p><br /></p><p>The soup ladle is 250 grams and retails new for £917.50<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>the two sauce ladles are 75 grams each and retail new for £285 each</p><p>The large serving fork is 110 grams and retails new for £370</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong, I do not expect to get anywhere near what these retail for -not even close even if refinished like new..</p><p><br /></p><p>But I&#039;m guessing someone with the right equipment could bring these upto looking new with relative ease - there is no bends or dings, just marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what do you think, worth getting refinished or not?
