[quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of old china that I've been holding onto. I'll look into replacements.com. I hadn't thought of selling it. I assume my kids will want it, but I doubt it. Some of it is more than 100 years old and incredibly beautiful, gold-rimmed, green and blue (no flowers), in full 12-place setting sets. I've thought of hanging some of it on the wall in a pattern, it's that lovely. I think it belongs in a museum, actually. All made in England at least 100 years ago (my grandmother was married in 1911). I also have two sets of silverware that I don't use either, and a lot of silver bowls, etc. all sterling. I suppose I could sell it by weight (sterling is worth a decent price nowadays), but it's pretty too. I imagine fashions will change and some people will want these things.
OP, sorry, just ruminating here. I think you should try replacements.com or hang onto it if you have the space. Your feelings and your kids' feelings about it might change. I've given things away in a rush of emotion that I later regret parting with. Wait a year, and see if you feel the same way. If so, keep a few precious pieces, and sell the rest. [/quote]
