I've been through this myself.

Nothing is more of a burden to those trying to help you than dealing with 3 China Cabinets full of "Rare Delftware Teapots and Dishes" that sell for $2 each on ebay. That sell for less than new shit at Walmart and even less than used dishes at the Thrift Shop. Most of them are not practical, not microwavable and/or dishwashable. Nor do they have any value.

The only thing valuable is maybe some Trifle Pewter Fish Platter, but nobody will take it away, or if they do, they give you $10 for it and leave you with boxes and boxes of heavy ass worthless dishwares to take the dump.

I know you got it from the Sears Catalog in 1972 as your first marriage wedding gift from Uncle Chester, but it's worth jack and crap.

Our main plates are from a thrift shop. I think 10 big plates and 10 small plates. They're worth $500 for whatever reason. Got them for $5 college years total. Left one at my wife's aunt's house. My wife and I were like WTF when she shipped it back from 45 minutes away. I guess they're $30/plate. We were like no. We had no clue, we got them for $5 total.

They are cool looking plates as gay as that sounds coming from a dude. I wouldn't drop $500 on them and I'd be pissed if she did. Got a lucky, unknown steal.
