[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people still register for china and/or but it themselves?

I’m in my early 50s and know it was a thing when we got married in the 90s, but do people still spend that kind of money on “fancy dishes”?

I was on FB marketplace and noticed someone is selling my china pattern for nearly $1k. I think it might have been 8 or 12 place settings (can’t recall). Seems absurd for FB marketplace despite the fact that more mainstream retail replacement services essentially charge an arm and a leg for pristine sets.

Just curious if there’s really a market for such things.

I’m also curious if people with “fancy dishes” reserve them for special occasions?

My dishes have always been on display in my china closet (is that even a thing with young people these days?) and used for the holidays and dinner parties when we eat in the dining room. Because our family is growing as relatives are getting married and having kids, I was toying with the idea of buying dinner plates in my pattern…until I had sticker shock. (I inherited three other sets of china, so I’ll just use another pattern at the kids’ table.)

Why not use the "fancy dishes" for your family instead of saving them to use when extended family visit? It's a much better use of whatever the price is of those fancy things nowadays. [/quote]
