Quote HistoryQuoted: Just what’s in the picture I kind of meant in weight. I see about 4 pounds in the lower right, but I can't tell the weight of the other bars. At about $300 a pound that's a pretty good score. |

When I bought my house we bought a lot of the items inside since the guy was downsizing. We wanted the really nice depression era glass that he had but though we wanted the China set. It’s also Noritake but the 1850 pattern. Going by eBay prices it should be upward of $850 or so with the pieces we have, but haven’t been able to sell it for $150 locally.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Got a link to the original thread? The archives are kinda messed up with no actual accounts linked to the posts but here’s the original thread. We end up getting a custom house designed and had blue prints ready to go. A real estate investor approached me and offered me pretty much an insane about of money for the entire property. I couldn’t say no so we sold and bought a really nice house about 5 miles away. https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/-ARCHIVED-THREAD-The-official-I-bought-land-with-a-creepy-house-Barn-build-thread-9-28-pictures/5-2021221/?page=1 |

You need to realize no one is buying nice china anymore.
Everyone was buying nice china in the 1950s and 1960s. But when some old lady dies today, none of her kids, grandkids, or great grandkids have any interest in it. That means unless you have something EXTREMELY rare and collectable - $200 is what you can get for something that is of good quality. Something that would be considered medium quality? $50. In many areas Good Will is no longer accepting china because literally nobody wants it. |

Was the guy in to making mirrors or transistors? Odd to have bars of that laying around. It is a somewhat rare item. I am guessing he thought that it was going to increase in value, an economy way to jump into precious metals if you can't actually afford silver - or if you think metals are mainly going to be valuable due to industrial uses. He wasn't totally wrong, it's just that specialty rare-earth metals didn't make the jump to liquid commodity like gold and sliver. It's not like you can open up the Wall Street Journal and flip to the markets page, look up the value, and then go sell it to a pawn shop like you can gold/silver. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is true. I had to buy a $1000 China cabinet to display my grandmother's set that grandpa sent over when in Korea. Then my father died a little early and I have EVERYTHING they ever made in autumn leaf. My mother also has another complete set that was her grandmother's. It's a shame but I have no idea what a person is supposed to do with this stuff. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Beautiful flawless complete china sets are going to waste nowadays. Mainly for two reasons. One, there is a lot of it out there and two, nobody uses it anymore. This is true.

The people of the 1910s-1930s all wanted china. Middle class families made sacrifices to afford basic sets, and it was fought over by children upon their parent's death the way current children fight over the house.

Straight razors fell away, and everyone had a safety-razor. Then we started to get disposable, then those multi-blade things. Nobody wanted a straight razor, nor a safety-razor. You couldn't give away an old safety-razor in the late 1990s. But 20-30 years later, that stuff is considered 'cool' again. In 2050 everyone will be wanting old china sets again, and will bemoan the tens of thousands of totally complete sets that were pulled straight from Gramma's China Hutch and thrown away. Heck, it's kinda headed that way now. Hipsters were carrying their own fancy straws. Now Hipsters are carrying tea-cups in teacup holsters so when they sit down at a coffee shop and order a cup of tea they can 'enjoy it properly'. I bet we see a tea-drinking revival and people who want to go full bore tea-sets in the next 10 years.  |

I’ve been down this road with a china set worth $3k.ish i inherited.
Nearly no way to sell it as a set for what it is worth. The pieces are worth more than the whole because people with “sets” are looking for specific original manufacture items that got broken..to..complete the set. Fuck that. Not selling one plate or tea cup at a time for 3 years. I donated to the local hospice thrift store for the tax write off. |
