Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
Hi Farrah,
Sadly, there is a LOT of this kind of thing on the market and, with people entertaining increasingly less often, or less formally, there's simply not enough demand for the supply.
Also, the prices Mearto assigns are fair-market, for auction, which are always less than retail prices.
I hope this answers your question; let me know if you have additional ones.
Delia
Okay,
Thank you so much for your prompt response. I have 6 of these, can I sell them here?
You have place settings - a total of 30 pieces?
If they are all the same, we can update the appraisal to include them, I just need photos of the attached here.
And yes, you can sell them here if they are marked as "for sale" and "public."
They were purchased for more than the current price 20 years ago. So they have not increased in value? Rather decreased?
