During the middle of the summer I found some silver ( both plate and sterling) at a moving sale. I bought the entire lot for 60 dollars and when I got it home realized I had a sterling coffee set, many plated trays, covered silver casseroles. In all there were about 35 pieces. I have culled what I like and am getting rid of the rest. Of course,for Christmas, I am giving my friends a Brazilian spice mix I make in silver salt shakers. ( A little elbow grease , some silver polish and a bright red bow and I will have a nice gift. There were 8 shakers in the box)Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-68970337979931559272014-10-22T18:08:18.859-05:002014-10-22T18:08:18.859-05:00Actually. little tables probably sell better than ...Actually. little tables probably sell better than dining tables.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-12684692846178017612014-10-22T17:02:06.516-05:002014-10-22T17:02:06.516-05:00Janie,

I, too, have table, bowls, and other things that I am using or saving for children. You might be surprised at the things people do want to get rid or need to get rid of, so this was just a little suggestion. Congratulations on a well-ordered life. I need that some days.

Those snowbirds know the value, so stick to your guns. Of course, you cannot get antique shop prices. They will point out how difficult it will be to get it back north in one piece in order to get it cheaply. Commiserate and show them something that is small and won't break--like a book.<br /><br />My antique store friend travels to bring stuff back to her shop. So, beware of their tales. Good luck! <br /><br />I go to a yard sale every year that has cut glass bowls for $35. Pardon me. I can go to an antique store and pay that. She has the same stuff year after year, and each year finds her putting more chipped bowls out and still charging the same. Soon, it will all be trash and worth nothing. <br /><br />I found a chipped cake plate that was worth $50 if whole. I paid $5 and put a decoration at the chip. <br /><br />I wish I were close to view your goods at your yard sale.

Here in FL yard sale season starts about Oct 15th when the snowbirds start returning.

Selling you own old stuff is a great way to make money. With four people, there should always be stuff to sell, especially with daughters.

I just sell old clothes, and the kids toys. Anything I can get my hands on really. I don't know enough about antiques to sell them, but I'd like to. I used to take it more seriously than I do now, buying stuff to sell too, but now I tend to just sell our old stuff. LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.com
