I have a huge set including serving plates, dinner plates, bowls, coffee mugs, ect. and am moving. I really dont need a set this big for a small family of three, and am pretty sure it is worth a good amount as the whole set.

I would sell it by the piece. You get more money that way. Go to replacements.com to get a ballpark figure on how much you should sell each piece for. Take great photos. Don’t forget the bottom. If someone wants the complete set, they will contact you.

I also would recommend selling it by the piece, especially for the serving pieces, which will command the highest prices. Most people are not looking to buy full sets of this type of dish/pattern, but trying to fill in what they don’t have. Shipping will also be high due to the weight of such a large amount of items and packing would be a real challenge :)

I would also sell it by the piece or the place setting if you’re selling it on-line. It might take longer but many people are looking for replacement pieces, rather than a whole set of vintage dish-ware.

Yes, sell a single piece at a time. You could say in your listing that you have a complete set for 12, or whatever, including serving pieces and if they’re interested in the whole set, they should contact you. Replacements.com is a great place to find a reasonable price. If the whole set is bought by a single person, I would advise them that it will be shipped and packed by PacMail. Shipping will be a bit more, but it’s worth the price for the peace of mind and the should be willing to pay it. It’s another negotiable point.

my scare would be the shipping on such a lot that is going to be hefty

You could try pricing it through Replacements.com and then perhaps sell it locally with a Bonanzle and Craig’s List linked ad.

If this is Hull Oven Proof USA dripware, the prices are right on up there as it is vintage and nearly all I had collected was snapped up for hefty prices. Please do the research before putting it on the market. You might be very pleasantly surprised.

When I sell a large lot I tell the buyer I will be shipping no more than 4 pieces in a box due to weight and less chance of breakage.

Yes, I think if you seperate the pieces, you will have a better chance of selling them. For instance, if I just wanted to replace a piece or two, or maybe I can’t afford the large set price, so I could buy one or two as I could easier for my finances. Hope this helps. Lori
